"Truth made you a traitor as it often does in a time of scoundrels"

- Lillian Hellman

About this Quote

This quote by Lillian Hellman talks to the idea that reality can be a double-edged sword. In a time of scoundrels, when individuals are acting in a deceitful or immoral method, speaking the fact can make you a traitor. This is due to the fact that those in power may not want to hear the fact, and may even be threatened by it. It can be tough to stand up for what is right when it breaks the status quo. However, it is essential to remember that truth is always worth defending, even if it suggests being labeled a traitor. It is only through speaking the truth that we can create a much better world.
