Quote by Terry Pratchett

The truth may be out there, but lies are inside your head.

The truth may be out there, but lies are inside your head.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the idea that while the truth exists externally, it is often obscured or difficult to find. On the other hand, lies are more internal and subjective, as they originate from one's thoughts or beliefs. It suggests that the truth can be elusive and require thorough investigation, while lies can be perpetuated or influenced by personal biases and perspectives. Thus, it urges caution in one's own cognitive processes and encourages a critical examination of information before accepting it as truth.
