Fact Crime

Famous quotes containing the words fact and/or crime:

    Truth is used to vitalize a statement rather than devitalize it. Truth implies more than a simple statement of fact. “I don’t have any whisky,” may be a fact but it is not a truth.
    William Burroughs (b. 1914)

    By measuring individual human worth, the novelist reveals the full enormity of the State’s crime when it sets out to crush that individuality.
