Imagine prisoners chained underground since childhood, seeing only shadows on a wall and taking them for reality.

-- Plato

Life is an unfoldment, and the further we travel the more truth we can comprehend.

-- Hypatia

Subjectivity is truth.

-- Søren Kierkegaard

Truth does not contradict truth; rather it accords with it and bears witness to it.

-- Averroes
