Fact Quotes

I, indeed, following the true law of history, have never set down any fact that I have not learned from trustworthy speakers or writers Picture Quote #1

I am not blind to the shortcomings of our own people. I am not unaware that leaders betray, and sell out, and play false. But this knowledge does not outweigh the fact that my class, the working class, is exploited, driven, fought back with the weapon of starvation, with guns and with venal courts whenever they strike for conditions more human, more civilized for their children, and for their children’s children Picture Quote #1

That historians should give their own country a break, I grant you; but not so as to state things contrary to fact. For there are plenty of mistakes made by writers out of ignorance, and which any man finds it difficult to avoid. But if we knowingly write what is false, whether for the sake of our country or our friends or just to be pleasant, what difference is there between us and hack writers? Readers should be very attentive to and critical of historians, and they in turn should be constantly on their guard Picture Quote #1

Of true knowledge at any time, a good part is merely convenient, necessary indeed to the worker, but not to an understanding of his subject: One can judge a building without knowing where to buy the bricks; one can understand a violin sonata without knowing how to score for the instrument. The work may in fact be better understood without a knowledge of the details of its manufacture, of attention to these tends to distract from meaning and effect Picture Quote #1

Keep children as much as possible by themselves... keep them from company, good or bad... It will be generally found that the most virtuous and the most intellectual, are those who have been brought up with few companions... in fact his mental resources may be considered entirely unknown and unexplored, who cannot spend his best and happiest hours alone Picture Quote #1

One of the first things a relationship therapist learns is that couples argue to burn up energy that could be used for something else. In fact, arguments often serve the purpose of using up energy, so that the couple does not have to take the courageous, creative leap into an unknown they fear. Arguing serves the function of being a zone of familiarity into which you can retreat when you are afraid of making a creative breakthrough Picture Quote #1

Peace consists, very largely, in the fact of desiring it with all one’s soul Picture Quote #1

The world is by no means averse to religion. In fact, it is devoted to it with a passion. It will buy any recipe for salvation as long as that formula leaves the responsibility for cooking up salvation firmly in human hands. The world is drowning in religion. But it is scared out of its wits by any mention of the grace that takes the world home gratis Picture Quote #1

It is an interesting and demonstrable fact that all children are atheists and were not religion inculcated in their minds, they would remain so Picture Quote #1

A good photograph is one that communicates a fact, touches the heart and leaves the viewer a changed person for having seen it. It is, in a word, effective Picture Quote #1

I tend to follow a very nocturnal sort of existence mainly because I don’t much care for sunlight. Bright colors of any kind depress me, in fact. And my moods are more or less inversely related to the clarity of the sky, on any given day... my private motto has always been that behind every silver lining there is a cloud Picture Quote #1

I like the music. I love it and live it in fact. But for me the business part of music just plain stinks Picture Quote #1

The idea of absolute freedom is fiction. It’s based on the idea of an independent self. But in fact, there’s no such thing. There’s no self without other people. There’s no self without sunlight. There’s no self without dew. And water. And bees to pollinate the food that we eat... So the idea of behaving in a way that doesn’t acknowledge those reciprocal relationships is not really freedom, it’s indulgence Picture Quote #1

We do not see everything in the environment in the complete, totally resolved, explicit character of the photograph. We, in fact, prioritize our seeing Picture Quote #1

Fear of failure is at least as common as the desire for success. In fact, if harnessed properly, it can be the energy that drives the wheel Picture Quote #1

To accept the fact that, after fertilization has taken place, a new human has come into being is no longer a matter of taste or opinion. The human nature of the human being from conception to old age is not a metaphysical conception. It is plain experimental evidence Picture Quote #1

It’s a basic fact about being human that sometimes the self seems to just melt away Picture Quote #1

Each of us has a day.. when he has to accept, finally, the fact that he is a man Picture Quote #1

When businesspeople take credit for creating jobs, it is like squirrels taking credit for creating evolution. In fact, it’s the other way around Picture Quote #1

I chose faces and figures as my subject matter simply due to the fact that the human form is already beautiful art Picture Quote #1

I don’t think this is an example of life and limb being at risk. I like the fact that our fans care Picture Quote #1

You’ve got to believe you can win. But I believe respect for the fact that you can lose is what you always have to keep in mind so that nothing suprises you Picture Quote #1

Our school systems teach our children that they are nothing but glorified apes who have evolutionized out of some primordial soup of mud, by teaching evolution as fact Picture Quote #1

Nothing so soothes our vanity as a display of greater vanity in others; it makes us vain, in fact, of our modesty Picture Quote #1

The whole point of faith, in fact, is to believe regardless of the evidence, which is the very antithesis of science Picture Quote #1

The fact that we have not had a terrorist attack in this country in the last six years is not a cause for complacency or a time to celebrate the end of the struggle. The threat is not going away.

Terrorists want to remake the world in their own image and it is the image that is intolerant of the kinds of institutions that we cherish Picture Quote #1

One of the strengths of this country has been our diversity. One of the strengths of this country has been the fact that we are a nation of immigrants Picture Quote #1

A social fact is every way of acting, fixed or not, capable of exercising on the individual an external constraint; or again, every way of acting which is general throughout a given society, while at the same time existing in its own right independent of its individual manifestations Picture Quote #1

The prayer of the monk is not perfect until he no longer recognizes himself or the fact that he is praying Picture Quote #1
