Lily King Quotes
She Said No One Had More Than One Perspective, Not Even In His So-called Hard Sciences. We're Always, In Everything We Do In This World, She Said, Limited By Subjectivity.

They Defined Their Cultures As They Saw Them, As They Understood The Natives' Point Of View. The Key Is, She Said, To Disengage Yourself From All Your Ideas About What Is "natural." 'Even If I Manage That, The Next Person Who Comes Here Will Tell A Different Story About The Kiona.' 'No Doubt.' 'Then What Is The Point?' I Said. 'This Is No Different From The Laboratory. What's The Point Of Anyone's Search For Answers? The Truth You Find Will Always Be Replaced By Someone Else's. Someday Even Darwin Will Look Like A Quaint Ptolemy Who Saw What He Could See But No More.
