What was going on in Ireland from 1850-1900 that would prompt Oscar Wilde's quote 'the pure and simple truth is rarely pure and never simple'?

The Tuberculosis epidemic that spread from 1850-1900 consistantly was in correlation to the mass immigration from Ireland to the United States of America that took place during the same timeframe. Although, it may not be the case that immigration to the USA was accelerated on a factor of any Tuberculosis epidemic or any other means for that matter. During the timeframe of 1850-1900 'The Great Hunger' in Ireland was also a cause for speculation (also known as 'The Great Famine' and 'The Irish Potato Famine'). The Great Famine was a cause for the islands' great change in political and cultural landscape. It has been estimated that well over a million people had died of starvation and disease during this time because of this great shortage in food. This may, with other causes in the time of 1850-1900 have been the reasoning behind Oscar Wilde's quote that, "The pure and simple truth is rarely pure and never simple." What other words could describe the scenery of a country on the brink of destruction searching for an escape?!


A short saying expressing a truth?

"The truth is rarely pure and never simple." Oscar Wilde ANSWER #2 The ancient Greek philosopher, Socrates, is attributed with saying: "To thine own self be true."This very short expression was many centuries later expanded on by Shakespeare in his tragedy, "Hamlet". Both Socrates and Shakespeare express the notion that knowing oneself first is the key to truth. I have paraphrased Shakespeare's full quote from "Hamlet" as follows: 'This above all: To thine own self be true, for it must follow as night follows day that you cannot be false to any man.'
