Facts Quotes

The higher worlds are around us. These worlds are not only heavenly worlds, not only worlds of happiness, though paradise and happiness are in them, but they are also worlds that could be terrible for the people, by dangerous facts and creatures Picture Quote #1

I think in a sense seeing how films have changed me and seeing how fiction moves me more than facts in many ways, and I think that I can talk for many people that fiction moves us more than real life, it certainly helps us to set forth on this a journey of a utopia, which can never be achieved Picture Quote #1

To me the early childhood story is an ecumenical one. You take poverty seriously. You take seriously maternal depression. You take seriously children under stress and you take seriously the effects of extended hours participation in poor quality care. Those are the facts I begin with Picture Quote #1

Short version: For the child..., it is not half so important to know as to feel. If facts are the seeds that later produce knowledge and wisdom, then the emotions and the impressions of the senses are the fertile soil in which the seeds must grow.... It is more important to pave the way for a child to want to know than to put him on a diet of facts that he is not ready to assimilate Picture Quote #1

One of the simplest things about all facts of life is that to get where you want to go, you must keep on keeping on Picture Quote #1

In fact the a priori reasoning is so entirely satisfactory to me that if the facts won’t fit in, why so much the worse for the facts is my feeling Picture Quote #1

We urgently need an end to these false assurances, to the sugar coating of unpalatable facts. It is the public that is being asked to assume the risks that the insect controllers calculate. The public must decide whether it wishes to continue on the present road, and it can do so only when in full possession of the facts Picture Quote #1

Statistical projections which speak to the senses without fatiguing the mind, possess the advantage of fixing the attention on a great number of important facts Picture Quote #1

Pain nourishes courage. You can’t be brave if you’ve only had wonderful things happen to you. Pain is inevitable. Misery is optional. Physical pain is a fact that comes with living, just as illness or financial woes or broken relationships are facts. But misery is a state of mind, a reaction to the facts, that can be controlled or altered by an act of will Picture Quote #1

I kept quiet, but the knowledge gathered like a storm. I could see the future: My father wasn’t coming back. And this one fact seemed to point to other facts and others still: Love frays and humans fail, time passes, eras end Picture Quote #1

Beside the grand history of the glaciers and their own, the mountain streams sing the history of every avalanche or earthquake and of snow, all easily recognized by the human ear, and every word evoked by the falling leaf and drinking deer, beside a thousand other facts so small and spoken by the stream in so low a voice the human ear cannot hear them Picture Quote #1

It is not truly realistic or scientific to take short views, to sacrifice the future to immediate pressure, to ignore facts and forces that are disagreeable and to magnify the enduring quality of whatever falls in with immediate desire. It is false that the evils of the situation arise from absence of ideals; they spring from wrong ideals Picture Quote #1

The progressive historical role of capitalism may be summed up in two brief propositions: increase in the productive forces of social labour, and the socialisation of that labour. But both these facts manifest themselves in extremely diverse processes in different branches of the national economy Picture Quote #1

Fluid intelligence doesn’t look much like the capacity to memorise and recite facts, the skills that people have traditionally associated with brainpower Picture Quote #1

The door of a bigoted mind opens outwards so that the only result of the pressure of facts upon it is to close it more snugly Picture Quote #1

What is in question is a kind of book reviewing which seems to be more and more popular: the loose putting down of opinions as though they were facts, and the treating of facts as though they were opinions Picture Quote #1

It is not the number of facts he knows, but how much of a fact he is himself, that proves the man Picture Quote #1

To no circumstance is the wide diffusion of error in the world more owing than to our habit of adopting conclusions from insufficiently established data. An indispensable preliminary, then, in every investigation, is to get at facts. Until these are arrived at, every opinion, theory, or system, however ingeniously framed, must necessarily rest upon an uncertain basis Picture Quote #1

I have nothing but myself to write about, no facts, no theories, no opinions, no adventures, no sentiments, nothing but my own poor barren individualism, of considerable interest to me, but I do not know why I should presume it will be so to you. Egotism is not tiresome, or it ought not to be, if one is sincere about oneself; but it is so hard to be sincere. Well, never mind, I mean to be, and you know me well enough to see through me when I am humbugging Picture Quote #1

How meagre one’s life becomes when it is reduced to its basic facts. And the last, most complete reduction is on one’s tombstone: a name, two dates Picture Quote #1

It is this union of passionate interest in the detailed facts with equal devotion to abstract generalisation which forms the novelty in our present society Picture Quote #1

Intelligence officers are supposed to put the facts on the table and really walk away from the policy discussion Picture Quote #1

Facts are the barren branches on which we hang the dear, obscuring foliage of our dreams Picture Quote #1

A strong will deals with the hard facts of life as a sculptor with his marbles, making them facile and yielding to his purposes, and conquering their stubbornness by a greater stubbornness in himself Picture Quote #1

At no time, anywhere, was the population of a country told the truth: facts about events trickled into general consciousness much later, if ever Picture Quote #1

Science robs men of wisdom and usually converts them into phantom beings loaded up with facts Picture Quote #1

If, occasionally, historical evidence does not square with formulated laws, it should be remembered that a law is but a deduction from experience and experiment, and therefore laws must conform with historical facts, not facts with laws Picture Quote #1

Even when the facts are available, most people seem to prefer the legend, and refuse to believe the truth when it in any way dislodges the myth Picture Quote #1

It is not the reporter’s job to be a patriot or to presume to determine where patriotism lies. His job is to relate the facts Picture Quote #1

The totality of facts determines both what is the case, and also all that is not the case Picture Quote #1
