A text has many interpretations, but no 'correct' one [Nietzsche]
     Full Idea: The same text allows innumerable interpretations: there is no 'correct' interpretation.
     From: Friedrich Nietzsche (Unpublished Notebooks 1885-86 [1886], 1[120])
     A reaction: It is hard to defend a 'correct' interpretation, but I think it is obvious to students of literature that some interpretations are very silly, such as reading things allegorically when there was no such intention.
