“Now, since our condition accommodates things to itself, and transforms them according to itself, we no longer know things in their reality; for nothing comes to us that is not altered and falsified by our Senses.

The uncertainty of our senses renders uncertain everything that they produce.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
