Quote

Ignoring facts does not make them go away.

Facts are facts and will not disappear on account of your likes.

Facts do not speak for themselves. They speak for or against competing theories. Facts divorced from theories or visions are mere isolated curiosities.

Facts, according to my ideas, are merely the elements of truths, and not the truths themselves; of all matters there are none so utterly useless by themselves as your mere matters of fact.

Facts are not interesting to me.

Facts cannot be replaced by opinion.

Facts are the air of scientists. Without them you can never fly.

One of the most untruthful things possible, you know, is a collection of facts, because they can be made to appear so many different ways.
