About This Quote

This quote is an example of an ellipsis, which is the omission of words or phrases in a sentence without changing the meaning of the sentence. Many times when we do not include certain words in our sentences, we may be leaving out important information that would change the meaning of our sentences. This is why this quote is so misleading because it leaves out the context that could have made it much clearer what he was talking about.
