Social Facts

Famous quotes containing the words social and/or facts:

“Lying increases the creative faculties, expands the ego, lessens the friction of social contacts.... It is only in lies, wholeheartedly and bravely told, that human nature attains through words and speech the forebearance, the nobility, the romance, the idealism, that—being what it is—it falls so short of in fact and in deed.”
—Clare Boothe Luce (1903–1987)

“Perhaps the facts most astounding and most real are never communicated by man to man.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
