Famous quotes containing the words interesting and/or facts:

    “It is, after all, very interesting that sound can reflect like water, like a mirror. And notice that Vinteuil’s phrase only shows me that to which I did not pay attention at the time. Of my worries, of my loves at that time, it does not recall a thing, it has made the exchange.”
    —Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

    “All the facts of nature are nouns of the intellect, and make the grammar of the eternal language. Every word has a double, treble or centuple use and meaning.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
