There are no surprising facts, only models that are surprised by facts; and if a model is surprised by the facts, it is no credit to that model  (Facts Quotes) The past slips from our grasp. It leaves us only scattered things. The bond that united them eludes us. Our imagination usually fills in the void by making use of preconceived theories... Archaeology, then, does not supply us with certitudes, but rather with vague hypotheses. And in the shade of these hypotheses some artists are content to dream, considering them less as scientific facts than as sources of inspiration  (Facts Quotes) Art... does not take kindly to facts, is helpless to grapple with theories, and is killed outright by a sermon  (Facts Quotes) It might be a good idea if the various countries of the world would occasionally swap history books, just to see what other people are doing with the same set of facts  (Facts Quotes) A mind devoid of prepossessions is likely to be devoid of all mental furniture. And the historian who thinks that he can clean his mind as he would a slate with a wet sponge, is ignorant of the simplest facts of mental life  (Facts Quotes) Photography is about finding out what can happen in the frame. When you put four edges around some facts, you change those facts  (Facts Quotes) All observers not laboring under hallucinations of the senses are agreed, or can be made to agree, about facts of sensible experience, through evidence toward which the intellect is merely passive, and over which the individual will and character have no control  (Facts Quotes) Instead of establishing facts, we have to overthrow errors; instead of ascertaining what is, we have to chase from our imaginations what is not  (Facts Quotes) Physiology and psychology cover, between them, the field of vital phenomena; they deal with the facts of life at large, and in particular with the facts of human life  (Facts Quotes) The facts will eventually test all our theories, and they form, after all, the only impartial jury to which we can appeal  (Facts Quotes) Such is the privilege of genius; it perceives, it seizes relations where vulgar eyes see only isolated facts  (Facts Quotes) Two seemingly incompatible conceptions can each represent an aspect of the truth... They may serve in turn to represent the facts without ever entering into direct conflict  (Facts Quotes) It is no longer a question anywhere of inventing interconnections from out of our brains, but of discovering them in the facts  (Facts Quotes) I am no poet, but if you think for yourselves, as I proceed, the facts will form a poem in your minds  (Facts Quotes) People make a grievous error thinking that a list of facts is the truth. Facts are just the bare bones out of which truth is made  (Facts Quotes) The discoverer and the poet are inventors; and they are so because their mental vision detects the unapparent, unsuspected facts, almost as vividly as ocular vision rests on the apparent and familiar  (Facts Quotes) Though we face the facts of sex we are more reluctant than ever to face the fact of death or the crueler facts of life, either biological or social  (Facts Quotes) Life is seldom as unendurable as, to judge by the facts, it logically ought to be  (Facts Quotes) No myth dies harder, and none is more regularly debunked by the facts, than the one about international sports contributing to international friendship  (Facts Quotes) We must think things not words, or at least we must constantly translate our words into the facts for which they stand, if we are to keep to the real and the true  (Facts Quotes) The plain truth is that the reporter’s trade is for young men. Your feet, which do the legwork, are nine times more important than your head, which fits the facts into a coherent pattern  (Facts Quotes) Fashion is born by small facts, trends, or even politics, never by trying to make little pleats and furbelows, by trinkets, by clothes easy to copy, or by the shortening or lengthening of a skirt  (Facts Quotes) It is not the facts which guide the conduct of men, but their opinions about facts; which may be entirely wrong. We can only make them right by discussion  (Facts Quotes) Facts can’t be recounted; much less twice over, and far less still by different persons. I’ve already drummed that thoroughly into your head  (Facts Quotes) The facts: nothing matters but the facts: worship of the facts leads to everything, to happiness first of all and then to wealth  (Facts Quotes) Human beings of all societies in all periods of history believe that their ideas on the nature of the real world are the most secure, and that their ideas on religion, ethics and justice are the most enlightened. Like us, they think that final knowledge is at last within reach. Like us, they pity the people in earlier ages for not knowing the true facts. Unfailingly, human beings pity their ancestors for being so ignorant and forget that their descendants will pity them for the same reason  (Facts Quotes) No doubt I shall go on writing, stumbling across tundras of unmeaning, planting words like bloody flags in my wake. Loose ends, things unrelated, shifts, nightmare journeys, cities arrived at and left, meetings, desertions, betrayals, all manner of unions, adulteries, triumphs, defeats…these are the facts  (Facts Quotes) Creatures whose mainspring is curiosity enjoy the accumulating of facts far more than the pausing at times to reflect on those facts  (Facts Quotes) Most people who are activists and are concerned about issues get their information from sources which reinforce their opinions and give them the facts that they want to hear  (Facts Quotes) Creating fake facts does require a measure of haphazard research, insofar as they need to not just be possible, but also interesting  (Facts Quotes)
