Quote by Ayn Rand

The truth is not for all men, but only for those who seek it.

The truth is not for all men, but only for those who seek it

Summary

This quote suggests that not everyone is willing or interested in discovering the truth. Instead, it implies that only those individuals who actively seek the truth are considered capable of understanding it. The truth may not be universally comprehensible or accessible to everyone, as some may lack the motivation, curiosity, or open-mindedness required to pursue it. Therefore, this quote emphasizes the idea that finding the truth is a personal journey that depends on individual curiosity and effort.
