A Quote by Richard Dawkins

I am not an enthusiast for diversity of opinion where facts are concerned. — © Richard Dawkins
I am not an enthusiast for diversity of opinion where facts are concerned.
There's a certain kind of research you have to listen to - the factual stuff, not opinion. Facts are facts. Sugar is sweet - it's not a matter of opinion. It just is.
I think, certainly, Barack Obama has created an opportunity for America to understand that diversity is a blessing, diversity is a strength. It isn't necessarily something to be concerned about. And I think, at the end of the day, we're going to learn that this country operates best when it celebrates and surrounds itself and appreciates diversity, and doesn't shun it.
You don't have true freedom until you allow a diversity of opinion and a diversity of voices.
What are the facts? Again and again and again – what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore divine revelation, forget what “the stars foretell,” avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable “verdict of history” – what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your single clue. Get the facts!
I have long been a fan and enthusiast where art is concerned.
Tolerance of true diversity on university campuses - diversity of opinion and belief - has been eroding for decades while alumni and trustees looked the other way.
Facts are simple and facts are straight. Facts are lazy and facts are late. Facts all come with points of view. Facts don't do what I want them to. Facts just twist the truth around. Facts are living turned inside out.
I'm not a fan of facts. You see, the facts can change, but my opinion will never change, no matter what the facts are.
I am not concerned with verisimilitude... I am not concerned with capturing reality. I am concerned with creating it myself.
I'm not a fan of the facts. Facts change; my opinion never does.
I most carefully confined myself to facts and arranged those facts on as thin a line of connecting opinion as possible.
I would say in just about every investigation we have, there will be differences of opinion, where you have partial facts, as to what those facts mean.
I tell my students, even if you are an opinion journalist, your opinion should be based on facts.
Don't talk to me about appealing to the public. I am done with the public, for the present anyway. The public reads the headlines and that is all. The story itself is fair and shows the facts. That would be all right if the public read the facts. But it does not. It reads the headlines and listens to the demagogues and that's the stuff public opinion is made of.
I am of the opinion that I am not a political writer, and, moreover, that as far as true literature is concerned, there actually are no political writers. I think that my writing is no more political than ancient Greek theatre. I would have become the writer I am in any political regime.
I am not here concerned with intent, but with scientific standards, especially the ability to tell the difference between a fact, an opinion, a hypothesis, and a hole in the ground.
