I might show
facts as plain as day: but, since your eyes are blind, you'd
say, ''Where? What?'' and turn away.

Obviously the
facts are never just coming at you but are incorporated by
an imagination that is formed by your previous experience.
Memories of the past are not memories of facts but memories
of your imaginings of the facts.
-- Philip Roth

Those who
forget good and evil and seek only to know the facts are
more likely to achieve good than those who view the world
through the distorting medium of their own desires.
-- Bertrand Russell

Philosopher, Mathematician, Essayist
She always
says, my lord, that facts are like cows. If you look them in
the face hard enough they generally run away.
