"It is not truth but opinion that can travel the world without a passport" - Sir Walter Raleigh



I really like this quote I found in The Ancient Mediterranean World book because, it reminded me of something Mr. Baker said in history class one time, that everything is biased and maybe a text it does not look like is bias but it still is a bit biased because everything is written with an opinion. I this is really clever how Sir Walter Raleigh says that is the opinion that travels, not truth, because maybe your opinion in something is a very good opinion and it may have perfect sense to you, but that does not make it true. Foe example you could think that the reason why when you throw a rock up to the sky and then comes down, its not gravety, and that is your opinion, but the truth is that it is because of gravety and you cannot change the truth.
