Representation of the world, like the world itself, is the work of men they describe it from their own point of view, which they confuse with the absolute truth. – Simone de Beauvoir

Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at the touch, nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening. – Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
