“We know nothing of the ultimate realities of our existence, nor shall we ever know anything. Let that be agreed. But it does not follow that therefore we must accept some or other dogmatic theory… It only follows that man is free to change his conception of the universe as often as he changes his boots or his gloves, and that constancy of principle belongs only to one’s relationships with other people, in order that they may know where and to what extent they may depend on us.”

– Lev Shestov, All Things Are Possible
