Such antonyms offer a valuable counterpoint to the idea of distortion, emphasizing the importance of accuracy and truthfulness in communication and representation.

Famous quotes with Distort

We are in control, they are in a state of hysteria. Losers, they think that by killing civilians and trying to distort the feelings of the people they will win. I think they will not win, those bastards.
