Famous quotes containing the words interesting and/or facts:
“If to be interesting is to be uncommonplace, it is becoming a question, with me, if there are any commonplace people.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“I’m not afraid of facts, I welcome facts but a congeries of facts is not equivalent to an idea. This is the essential fallacy of the so-called “scientific” mind. People who mistake facts for ideas are incomplete thinkers; they are gossips.”
—Cynthia Ozick (b. 1928)
