Subjectivistically Speaking

"We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are" said Anais Nin.
Between puzzling over what my next business card will say about me and shaking my head at the commodification of love that is Valentine’s Day, I have also been pondering if one can see things as they really are without the distortions of one’s own views and emotions.
I mean, is it possible to have objective knowledge when the only way to gather knowledge is subjective?
I’m asking myself this because I was chatting to this blonde the other night and objectively she was attractive but she then talked to another guy which subjectively made her a skank.
