Famous quotes containing the words team and/or facts:

    “I also heard the whooping of the ice in the pond, my great bed-fellow in that part of Concord, as if it were restless in its bed and would fain turn over, were troubled with flatulency and bad dreams; or I was waked by the cracking of the ground by the frost, as if some one had driven a team against my door, and in the morning would find a crack in the earth a quarter of a mile long and a third of an inch wide.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “News reports don’t change the world. Only facts change it, and those have already happened when we get the news.”
    —Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
