About This Quote
All you know is what you think you know, but that isn't always what's real. When you are told something over and over again, it becomes true. This quote is saying that what people think they know may not be true. It can be easy to believe something because someone has told you over and over again because it’s the truth. It’s easy to get caught up in the rhetoric of other people and to believe what they say without really checking up if it’s true or not.
