"[I often get] the feeling that the very concept of objective
truth is fading out of the world... I am willing to believe that
history is for the most part inaccurate and biased, but what is
peculiar to our age is the abandonment of the idea that history
could be truthfully written. In the past people deliberately
lied, or they unconsciously coloured what they wrote, or they
struggled after the truth, well knowing that they must make many
mistakes; but in each case they believed that 'the facts'
existed and were more or less discoverable."
