Information is not culture. In the mind of a truly educated person, facts are organized, and they make up a living world in the image of the world of reality.

Andre Maurois

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.

David Byrne

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!

Robert A. Heinlein

I don't stand by the understanding of that statement that I will ignore other facts or other experiences because I haven't had them. I do believe that life experiences are important to the process of judging - They help you to understand and listen - but that the law requires a result. And it would command you to the facts that are relevant to the disposition of the case.

Sonia Sotomayor

But this blindness to facts can be a liability, too. The characteristics that help entrepreneurs succeed can also lead to their failure.

Eric Ries

Benny Hinn

Doris Day

We're assaulted with facts, pseudo facts, jibber-jabber, and rumour, all posing as information. Trying to figure out what you need to know and what you can ignore is exhausting.

Daniel Levitin

The most important thing about creativity is that you honor your creativity and you don't ever ignore it or go against what that creative image is telling you.

Lady Gaga

Facts from paper are not the same as facts from people. The reliability of the people giving you the facts is as important as the facts themselves.

Harold S. Geneen

We want the facts to fit the preconceptions. When they don't it is easier to ignore the facts than to change the preconceptions.

Jessamyn West

Persons living in this modern world who do not know the basic facts that determine their very existence, functioning, and surroundings, are living in a dream world. Such persons are, in a very real sense, not sane.

Gerald Holton

In all forms of magick, the imagination or image-making faculty is the most important factor

Kenneth Grant

We are living in a world where image is important and we feel the need to confirm to a standard of what beauty is and how beauty should look like. We look at the billboard, and feel something is lacking in us.
