About This Quote

The famous British writer and philosopher, Aldous Huxley, said: “Truth has to be given in riddles. People can't take truth if it comes charging at them like a bull.” This quote is another example of how society has changed from one where people were told the facts straight up without any detailing. Today, people are expecting the facts to be hidden from them so they can figure out what it means for themselves. In this age of information overload, people are expected to sift through the facts on their own and figure out what is going on in their lives for themselves.
