„To tell the truth, I couldn’t care less about the relativity of knowledge, simply because the world does not deserve to be known.“

— Emil M. Cioran

„I had in my soul the greatest truths to tell, but when I came to the work of telling them I couldn't do it.“
— William Saroyan

— Cassandra Clare
„Human thought by its nature is capable of giving, and does give, absolute truth, which is compounded of a sum-total of relative truths.“
— Vladimir Lenin
„Relative knowledge pertains to the mind and not to the Self. It is therefore illusory and not permanent. Take a scientist, for instance. He formulates a theory that the Earth is round and goes on to prove it on an incontrovertible basis. When he falls asleep the whole idea vanishes; his mind is left a blank. What does it matter whether the world remains round or flat when he is asleep? So you see the futility of all such relative knowledge. One should go beyond relative knowledge and abide in the Self. Real knowledge is such experience, and not apprehension by the mind.“
— Ramana Maharshi
