About This Quote
The truth will set you free. Unless you're guilty. This quote is often misquoted as “The truth will set you free, if you're innocent.” That's technically correct, but not what the author meant. The truth will set you free to move on with your life, but first it may be painful.
This quote is related to truth serum, which is a drug used in medicine (usually against people who would rather not know the truth) to make the patient confess. But it's also about telling the truth and dealing with reality with an eye towards healing and moving on with our lives.
