Quote by Boyd Rice

The will to label will always prevail over what's being labeled, usually at the expense of either truth or understanding.

The will to label will always prevail over what's being labe

Summary

This quote suggests that the human tendency to categorize and label things often prioritizes the act of labeling itself rather than the actual content being categorized. In doing so, either the truth or the deeper comprehension of the subject matter is often overlooked or compromised. It implies that people are so focused on putting things into boxes that they may disregard the intricate complexities and nuances that come with understanding the truth fully. This quote encourages us to be cautious of the limited perspectives that come with labeling and to strive for a more holistic understanding.
