"Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth."

Disputed attribution

This wording closely tracks Gregory Hays's 2002 translation of Meditations, which is still under copyright and is not quoted on this site. No matching sentence appears in the public-domain Long translation. Flagged for replacement with Long's or Casaubon's wording once the corresponding passage is identified, rather than for misattribution of authorship.
