Fact Crime

Famous quotes containing the words fact and/or crime:

“The percept is the reality. It is not in propositional form. But the most immediate judgment concerning it is abstract. It is therefore essentially unlike the reality, although it must be accepted as true to that reality. Its truth consists in the fact that it is impossible to correct it, and in the fact that it only professes to consider one aspect of the percept.”
—Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)

“Growing old’s like being increasingly penalized for a crime you haven’t committed.”
—Anthony Powell (b. 1905)
