    Harriet Martineau (1802–1876)

    When one man has reduced a fact of the imagination to be a fact to his understanding, I foresee that all men will at length establish their lives on that basis.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The fact which the politician faces is merely that there is less honor among thieves than was supposed, and not the fact that they are thieves.
