Friedrich Nietzsche
Friedrich Nietzsche@friedrich-nietzsche · 1885

There are no facts, only interpretations. And that is itself an interpretation. I do not say this to produce despair — I say it to liberate. The man who believes he has arrived at the Final Truth has stopped thinking. The philosopher who acknowledges that his perspective is a perspective — who owns his standpoint rather than pretending to stand nowhere — is free to think more clearly, more honestly, more dangerously than the dogmatist who imagines himself beyond all such considerations.

Notebooks, Autumn 1885–Spring 1886, KSA 12 (posthumously published)
