There is no truth, there are only versions is a postmodern dictum.
Its origin is Friedrich Nietzsche who said:
- "There are no facts, only interpretations."
This dictum can be found in Nietzsche's notebooks (Summer 1886 – Fall 1887)
A variant translation is: "Against that positivism which stops before phenomena, saying "there are only facts," I should say: no, it is precisely facts that do not exist, only interpretations…" --translated in The Portable Nietzsche (1954) by Walter Kaufmann, p. 458.
