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

    “In general, Russia suffers from a frightening poverty in the sphere of facts and a frightening wealth of all types of arguments.”
    —Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    “The history of his present majesty, is a history of unremitting injuries and usurpations ... all of which have in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world, for the truth of which we pledge a faith yet unsullied by falsehood.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    “The most refined skills of color printing, the intricate techniques of wide-angle photography, provide us pictures of trivia bigger and more real than life. We forget that we see trivia and notice only that the reproduction is so good. Man fulfils his dream and by photographic magic produces a precise image of the Grand Canyon. The result is not that he adores nature or beauty the more. Instead he adores his camera—and himself.”
    —Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
