Facts are such pesky things, aren't they?

"In religion and politics, people's beliefs and
convictions are in almost every case gotten at second-
hand, and without examination." Mark Twain

Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities. Truth isn't.
Mark Twain

“Our vision is more obstructed by what we think we know
than by our lack of knowledge.” - Kristen Stendahl

"We want the facts to fit the preconceptions. When they
don't, it is easier to ignore the facts than to change the
preconceptions." - JASSAMYN WEST

"It is useless to attempt to reason a man out of what he
was never reasoned into." Jonathan Swift
