Courage Quote by Peter Barry
““If we have the courage, the implication is, we will enter this new Nietzschean universe, where there are no guaranteed facts, only interpretations, none of which has the stamp of authority upon it, since there is no longer any authoritative center to which to appeal for validation of our interpretations.””
