About This Quote

The truth cannot be communicated until it is perceived. This quote speaks to the idea that people will not believe what is really true until they see it for themselves. When someone claims to have seen something so outlandish that it seems too unbelievable to be true, the truth can only be perceived by someone who has seen it for themselves. For example, if someone is telling you that they saw a UFO or that they were abducted by aliens, that thing that they saw must be real to you in order for you to believe them.
