About This Quote

Truth, like love and sleep, resents approaches that are too intense. It is often said that we can only find out the truth after we have experienced the partial truth. The partial truth is not complete and gives us a glimpse into what’s to come. This quote reminds us to be careful of our continual approach to truth.

When we push too hard or try too hard to reach our goal, we might suffer from the negative effects of the partial truth. We might lose sight of what’s most important and miss out on all the things that make life worth living.
