Summary

This quote suggests that the concept of truth is similar to a currency coin with two sides. In order for truth to be valuable and trustworthy, it must encompass both perspectives or sides of a situation. Just like a dollar coin is only valuable if it has both heads and tails, the truth must incorporate different viewpoints or angles to provide a complete and accurate understanding of a matter. This implies that an objective and well-rounded appreciation of truth requires considering various facets and viewpoints, rather than focusing on a single perspective.

After Blood Simple, everybody thought I was from Texas. After Mississippi Burning, everybody thought I was from Mississippi and uneducated.
