Famous quotes containing the word facts:

    “In the fevered state of our country, no good can ever result from any attempt to set one of these fiery zealots to rights, either in fact or principle. They are determined as to the facts they will believe, and the opinions on which they will act. Get by them, therefore, as you would by an angry bull; it is not for a man of sense to dispute the road with such an animal.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    “There are in me, in literary terms, two distinct characters: one who is taken with roaring, with lyricism, with soaring aloft, with all the sonorities of phrase and summits of thought; and the other who digs and scratches for truth all he can, who is as interested in the little facts as the big ones, who would like to make you feel materially the things he reproduces.”
    —Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880)

    “Get your facts first, and then you can distort them as much as you please.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
