Since the masses are always eager to believe something, for their benefit nothing is so easy to arrange as facts.
The fact is that more people have been slaughtered in the name of religion than for any other single reason. That, that my friends, that is true perversion!
Misquotation is, in fact, the pride and privilege of the learned. A widely- read man never quotes accurately, for the rather obvious reason that he has read too widely.
Breast-feeding does not belong in the realm of facts and hard numbers; it is much too intimate and elemental.
Obstacles are weak walls without foundations; if you fear them, they will defeat you. But the fact is that they are even afraid of you. So why frightened?
The fact that people are in positions does not justify the means that they are leaders. A leader can be blind and to know this, check his sense of vision.
My stories are full of facts; they have a beginning and an end. For that reason, they will never... occupy a place in contemporary literature.
I think being an actress is more how to cope with the fact that you can't do anything else than to express a talent. It's a way of being untalented for anything.
Regimes like the one in Russia are stabilized by the fact that they have no ideology. There is really no ideological means to attack them.
Our empirical criterion for a series of theories is that it should produce new facts. The idea of growth and the concept of empirical character are soldered into one.
Very, very rare that you do a job knowing that the audience is desperate for you to do that job. Most films you make don't get released, is the fact.
I like the fact that Austin's the first place I've ever lived where there's a real sense of community. People care about their neighbors.
The fact is that in too many communities in cities in Britain gangs now have become completely rooted into these communities and they destroy them around them.
To say that authority, whether secular or religious, supplies no ground for morality is not to deny the obvious fact that it supplies a sanction.
The fact that tradition hinders the individual savage from thinking logically by no means proves that he cannot think logically.
I used to get a lot of people saying 'Oh, you are such a lucky granny.' But the fact of the matter is you can be a grandma at 35 these days.
During the 60's, I was, in fact, very concerned about the civil rights movement.
The community of poets I belong to is not as close as it used to be, if only for the fact that our lives have become busier: jobs, children, and the like.
Terrorism needs to be fought against and certainly delegitimized or attacked, but some of the underlying grievances that might in fact lead individuals astray to terrorism cannot be ignored.
I'd like to think that most of what I do is self-evident if you're listening to it or seeing it. But I don't mind the fact that it's hard to describe.
However fragmented the world, however intense the national rivalries, it is an inexorable fact that we become more interdependent every day.
