Famous quotes containing the word facts:

    “Had Adam tenderly reproved his wife, and endeavored to lead her to repentance instead of sharing in her guilt, I should be much more ready to accord to man that superiority which he claims; but as the facts stand disclosed by the sacred historian, it appears to me that to say the least, there was as much weakness exhibited by Adam as by Eve. They both fell from innocence, and consequently from happiness, but not from equality.”
    —Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)

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

    “Each truth that a writer acquires is a lantern, which he turns full on what facts and thoughts lay already in his mind, and behold, all the mats and rubbish which had littered his garret become precious. Every trivial fact in his private biography becomes an illustration of this new principle, revisits the day, and delights all men by its piquancy and new charm.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
