There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so - Shakespeare (Hamlet)
There is no history of mankind, there are only many histories of all kinds of aspects of human life - Karl Popper
There are no facts, only interpretations - Friedrich Nietzsche- Notebooks (Summer 1886 ? Fall 1887) http://www.entropy.in/the-moral-naturalists/
