About this quote
From aphorism 108 of Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil (1886), in Helen Zimmern's English translation (New York: Macmillan, 1907). Nietzsche wrote in German, so this is the translator's wording. Other translators render it differently, for example "There are no moral phenomena, only moral interpretations of phenomena."
