Famous quotes containing the word facts:

    “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 bases for historical knowledge are not empirical facts but written texts, even if these texts masquerade in the guise of wars or revolutions.”
    —Paul Deman (1919–1983)

    “Theories that go counter to the facts of human nature are foredoomed.”
    —Edith Hamilton (1867–1963)
