Summary

This quote suggests that speaking the truth is not enough; it also requires someone willing to listen. The truth only becomes powerful when it is communicated and received. One person may have the courage to speak it, but it ultimately relies on another person's openness to hear and understand it. The quote emphasizes the importance of active and receptive communication, as both the speaker and the listener have a role to play in the pursuit of truth.
