Famous quotes containing the word facts:

    ““It is of the highest importance in the art of detection to be able to recognise out of a number of facts which are incidental and which are vital.... I would call your attention to the curious incident of the dog in the night-time.”
    “The dog did nothing in the night-time.”
    “That was the curious incident.””
    —Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)

    “In the fevered state of our country, no good can ever result from any attempt to set one of these fiery zealots to rights, either in fact or principle. They are determined as to the facts they will believe, and the opinions on which they will act. Get by them, therefore, as you would by an angry bull; it is not for a man of sense to dispute the road with such an animal.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    “The effectiveness of our memory banks is determined not by the total number of facts we take in, but the number we wish to reject.”
    —Jon Wynne-Tyson (b. 1924)
