Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

All truth is simple... is that not doubly a lie?

All truth is simple... is that not doubly a lie?

Summary

This quote suggests that truth is inherently straightforward and uncomplicated. However, the statement also implies a contradiction by implying that simplicity itself can be deceptive and mask the true nature of the world. Therefore, it questions the idea that truth can be easily understood and challenges the notion that simplicity equates to honesty or authenticity. It emphasizes the complexity of truth and the danger of oversimplifying it, highlighting the possibility that even seemingly simple truths can be misleading or fallacious.
