Famous quotes containing the words quick and/or facts:

    “You can say anything you want, ‘cause I’ve heard it all before. All you can do is pray for a quick death ... which you ain’t gonna get.”
    —Quentin Tarantino, U.S. screenwriter and director. Mr. Blonde (Michael Madsen)

    “Great abilites are not requisite for an Historian; for in historical composition, all the greatest powers of the human mind are quiescent. He has facts ready to his hand; so there is no exercise of invention. Imagination is not required in any degree; only about as much as is used in the lowest kinds of poetry. Some penetration, accuracy, and colouring, will fit a man for the task, if he can give the application which is necessary.”
    —Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
