Famous quotes containing the words facts and, facts and/or trivia:

    “It is part of the educator’s responsibility to see equally to two things: First, that the problem grows out of the conditions of the experience being had in the present, and that it is within the range of the capacity of students; and, secondly, that it is such that it arouses in the learner an active quest for information and for production of new ideas. The new facts and new ideas thus obtained become the ground for further experiences in which new problems are presented.”
    —John Dewey (1859–1952)

    “How many facts we have fallen through
    And still the old façade glimmers there,
    A mirage, but permanent. We must first trick the idea”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “Pop artists deal with the lowly trivia of possessions and equipment that the present generation is lugging along with it on its safari into the future.”
    —J.G. (James Graham)
