A quote by Robert Louis Stevenson. It means to hide the truth by not saying anything. Example: one spouse is cheating on the other. The knowledge that the cheated on spouse would leave if the cheating were discovered, so no confession ever comes. The silence is a lie, because it is allowing the other to believe everything is fine when it isn't. - A lie of omission is the "cruelest of lies," because it takes away the power of the other person to act.
