Fact Finding Mission

Famous quotes containing the words fact, finding and/or mission:

    There is one privilege we’ll never lose; currently it’s called nationality. It means that everyone was born somewhere, which is in fact self-evident.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    We are finding out that what looked like a neglected house a year ago is in fact a ruin.
    Václav Havel (b. 1936)

    Every Age has its own peculiar faith.... Any attempt to translate into facts the mission of one Age with the machinery of another, can only end in an indefinite series of abortive efforts. Defeated by the utter want of proportion between the means and the end, such attempts might produce martyrs, but never lead to victory.
    Giuseppe Mazzini (1805–1872)
