“There is, it seems, no mechanism in the mind or the brain for ensuring the truth… We have no direct access to historical truth… no way by which the events of the world can be directly transmitted or recorded in our brains: they are experienced and constructed in a highly subjective way… Our only truth is narrative truth, the stories we tell each other and ourselves - the stories we continually re-categorize and refine.”

| Oliver Sacks
