Truthiness is tearing apart our country, and I don't mean the argument over who came up with the word. I don't know whether it's a new thing, but it's certainly a current thing, in that it doesn't seem to matter what facts are. It used to be, everyone was entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts. But that's not the case anymore. Facts matter not at all. Perception is everything.

Great Daniel Patrick Moynihan said that everyone`s entitled to their own opinions, but not their own facts. I`m not sure that`s true anymore.

Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts.

Daniel Patrick Moynihan

Opinion is not knowledge. You're entitled to your own opinion but you're not entitled to your own facts.

Steven Levy

Everyone feels entitled to their own facts.

Morgan Neville

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

You are entitled to your opinion. But you are not entitled to your own facts.

Daniel Patrick Moynihan

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.

Paul Rand

Facts are neutral until human beings add their own meaning to those facts. People make their decisions based on what the facts mean to them, not on the facts themselves. The meaning they add to facts depends on their current story … facts are not terribly useful to influencing others. People don’t need new facts—they need a new story.

Blake Mycoskie

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.

Stephen Colbert

The existence of God is not subjective. He either exists or he doesn’t. It’s not a matter of opinion. You can have your own opinions. But you can’t have your own facts.

Ricky Gervais

Everyone should have their own opinion and be able to voice it. No matter what it is. Of course, that does not mean your opinion is always right. But, you're certainly entitled to your opinion.

Tim McGraw

In post modern culture, people not only have their own views, they think they are entitled to their own facts.

Peter Boghossian

Facts matter not at all. Perception is everything. It's certainty.

Stephen Colbert

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!
