Quote by Lawrence Durrell

Truth disappears with the telling of it.

Truth disappears with the telling of it.

Summary

This quote suggests that the more we try to convey or communicate the truth, the more likely it is to become distorted or lost. It implies that truth is fragile and easily manipulated through storytelling or sharing it with others. As information passes from one person to another, it may be unintentionally altered, leading to a distorted version of what originally occurred or was said. Thus, the quote emphasizes the potential for truth to be corrupted or diluted when it undergoes a process of transmission or narration.
