But from my lips, the truth always falls, and their ears are closed to it, and their minds recoil from it, and their swords and spears demand me to stop speaking it, and they go and fight each other so as not to make what I have uttered chime true, and in so doing, they hasten it.
They always claim to want the truth; this is the first lie they tell.
