Answer:

Paradox

Step-by-step explanation:

There are many figures of speech and paradox is one of them. A "paradox" provides a set of seemingly contradictory ideas or concepts but reveals a hidden truth. The elements being mentioned here are contradictory yet interrelated.

Examples: "As I said before, I never repeat myself."

"Freedom is slavery."

"I am nobody."
