Facts Quotes

We never know all the facts and the more we’re mindful of how we deal with people, the more opportunity we have to evolve Picture Quote #1

In one deep sense, novels are concealed autobiography. I don’t mean that you are telling facts about yourself, but you are trying to find out what you really think or who you are Picture Quote #1

Given a choice between their worldview and the facts, it’s always interesting how many people toss the facts Picture Quote #1

By means of the iconic, artists express their view of reality and show their understanding of the structure of reality. They see what they know and bring this into their paintings.... They always give us more than the facts, more than the eye can see Picture Quote #1

It’s an odd thing but when you tell someone the true facts of a mythical tale they are indignant not with the teller but with you. They don’t want to have their ideas upset. It rouses some vague uneasiness in them, I think, and they resent it. So they reject it and refuse to think about it. If they were merely indifferent it would be natural and understandable. But it is much stronger than that, much more positive. They are annoyed. Very odd, isn’t it Picture Quote #1

I don’t mind... the fun and games of being treated like a fragile flower. But as a physiologist working with the unromantic scientific facts of life, I find it hard to delude myself about feminine frailty Picture Quote #1

All genuine progress results from finding new facts. No law can be passed to make an acre yield three hundred bushels. God has already established the laws. It is four us to discover them, and to learn the facts by which we can obey them Picture Quote #1

This intolerable dependence on foreign oil threatens our economic independence and the very security of our nation. The energy crisis is real. It is worldwide. It is a clear and present danger to our nation. These are facts and we simply must face them Picture Quote #1

The errors which arise from the absence of facts are far more numerous and more durable than those which result from unsound reasoning respecting true data Picture Quote #1

All that passes for knowledge can be arranged in a hierarchy of degrees of certainty, with arithmetic and the facts of perception at the top Picture Quote #1

The essential discovery of maturity has little if anything to do with information about the names, the locations, and the sequence of facts; it is the acquiring of a different sense of life, a different kind of intuition about the nature of things Picture Quote #1

The facts we see depend on where we are placed and the habits of our eyes Picture Quote #1

Our ideas must agree with realities, be such realities concrete or abstract, be they facts or be they principles, under penalty of endless inconsistency and frustration Picture Quote #1

Humanism... is not a single hypothesis or theorem, and it dwells on no new facts. It is rather a slow shifting in the philosophic perspective, making things appear as from a new centre of interest or point of sight Picture Quote #1

While those whom devotion to abstract discussions has rendered unobservant of the facts are too ready to dogmatize on the basis of a few observations Picture Quote #1

The arousing of prejudice, pity, anger, and similar emotions has nothing to do with the essential facts, but is merely a personal appeal to the man who is judging the case Picture Quote #1

Poetry is superior to painting in the presentation of words, and painting is superior to poetry in the presentation of facts. For this reason I judge painting to be superior to poetry Picture Quote #1

Regarding the idea of race,.. no agreement seems to exist about what race means. Race seems to embody a fact as simple and as obvious as the noonday sun, but if that is so, why the endless wrangling about the idea and the facts of race. What is a race? How can it be recognized? Who constitute the several races? Picture Quote #1

Illusions... are simple facts, but they have been created by the mind, by the spirit, and they are one of the justifications of the new spatial configuration Picture Quote #1

A hypothesis is something which looks as if it might be true and were true, and which is capable of verification or refutation by comparison with facts Picture Quote #1

Law is no explanation of anything; law is simply a generalization, a category of facts. Law is neither a cause, nor a reason, nor a power, nor a coercive force. It is nothing but a general formula, a statistical table Picture Quote #1

There are two statements about human beings that are true: that all human beings are alike, and that all are different. On those two facts all human wisdom is founded Picture Quote #1

People who have few possessions cling tightly to those they have. That is one of the facts that make life so discouraging Picture Quote #1

Facts per se can neither prove nor refute anything. Everything is decided by the interpretation and explanation of the facts, by the ideas and the theories Picture Quote #1

The word story is intended to alert the reader to the fact that, however closely the narrative may fit the facts, the fictional process has been at work Picture Quote #1

Learning to learn is to know how to navigate in a forest of facts, ideas and theories, a proliferation of constantly changing items of knowledge. Learning to learn is to know what to ignore but at the same time not rejecting innovation and research Picture Quote #1

Should our moral beliefs really prove to be dependent on factual assumptions shown to be incorrect, it would be hardly moral to defend them by refusing to acknowledge the facts Picture Quote #1

The history of science knows scores of instances where an investigator was in the possession of all the important facts for a new theory but simply failed to ask the right questions Picture Quote #1

Our understanding of the world is achieved more effectively by conceptual improvements than by discovery of new facts Picture Quote #1

Intellect begins with the observation of nature, proceeds to memorize and classify the facts thus observed, and by logical deduction builds up that edifice of knowledge properly called science? But admittedly we also know by feeling, and we can combine the two faculties, and present knowledge in the guise of art Picture Quote #1
