'Wicked' gave us a story that 'The Wizard of Oz' did not. Two sides to every story.

Abbi Glines

The great argument used now against any theological proposition is not, that it is untrue, or unthinkable, or unedifying, or unscriptural, or unorthodox, but simply, that the modern mind cannot accept it.

Ronald Knox

If you have a very commanding argument that you cannot refute, not to accept the argument is to act irrationally.

Robert F. Almeder

There are not two sides to a story when one side is a lie. Journalists - and the rest of us - must stop giving equal time to things that don't have an opposing side.

Daniel Levitin

We like things to be black or white, tall or short, here or there. We like to consider two sides to every story. Unfortunately, there aren't always two sides. Sometimes there's only one; more often, there are multitudes. Many facets on the stone. Nooks and crannies in abundance. Things are usually not either black or white, but multicolored.

Barry Leiba

There are always two or three or four sides to every story.

Denise Richards

Only there's two sides to every story, you know. You just remember that.

Wally Lamb

Sextus Empiricus

I don’t believe there are two sides to every argument. I think the facts are the center. And watching the news abandon the facts in favor of “fairness” is what’s troubling to me.

Aaron Sorkin

I don't believe there's two sides to every story. It's black and white. There's right and wrong.

I was involved with the Batman. There are two sides to every story. Now you've heard my side.

Bob Kane

Gray space is fertile ground for fiction. When I can see both sides of an argument and feel strongly in both directions, then there's a story there, then I can write real characters that I care about and believe in and champion on both sides.

Kelly Sue DeConnick

If you are going to be a mediator or arbitrator you have to be in the middle between the two sides; you cannot take sides only with one party.

Bashar al-Assad

In writing a novel, the writer must be able to identify emotionally and intellectually with two or three or four contradicting perspectives and give each of them very a convincing voice. It's like playing tennis with yourself and you have to be on both sides of the yard. You have to be on both sides, or all sides if there are more than two sides.

Amos Oz

There are two sides to every story and I think it has been easy for us culturally to persecute the scorned woman and the actions she takes in response to being betrayed.

Asher Keddie

I think from a personal standpoint, maybe I appreciate a little more that there are two sides to every story, and the way that the U.S. is sometimes is viewed outside of the U.S. can be pretty tough, depending on what the U.S.'s actions are.
