Ernest Hemingway Quotes

There's no one thing that is true. They're all true.

There may not be one Truth - there may be several truths - but saying that is not to say that reality doesn't exist.

How do I hold my truth to be the truth when everyone else believes their truth to be different.

Everything is true and not true about everything. That’s one thing I’ve learned.

There are many levels of truth.

I preach there are all kinds of truth, your truth and somebody else's. But behind all of them there is only one truth and that is that there's no truth.

There is no truth. There is only perception.

It seemed to me, in some way, especially when you're looking back at distant historical events, the "Truth" with a capital "T" is kind of the juxtaposition of all the many, many, many truths that seem true to people at the time.

Now, none of this is to say that the truth isn’t important. The truth obviously exists. It’s at the core—or the search for the truth—is at the core of some of our greatest human achievements. It can animate and inspire us to do, learn and create great things. But I think in our messy human hearts, we also know that the truth is something of a fickle mistress and that the beauty of the truth is often in the struggle. It’s the reason that we have so many sublime chronicles of the human experience, because we have so many different truths to be explored…. For many of us, truth is what we make when we merge facts about the world with our beliefs about the world. Each of us has our own truth and it’s probably a good one.

I'm not a slave to objectivity. I'm never quite sure what it means. And it means different things to different people.

Each person does see the world in a different way. There is not a single, unifying, objective truth. We're all limited by our perspective.

Truth, after all, wears a different face to everybody, and it would be too tedious to wait till all were agreed.

Postmodernism was a reaction to modernism. Where modernism was about objectivity, postmodernism was about subjectivity. Where modernism sought a singular truth, postmodernism sought the multiplicity of truths.

Man is the measure of all things.

The opposite of a fact is falsehood, but the opposite of one profound truth may very well be another profound truth.
