“What is believed to be a fact is only a fact until another fact supersedes it. Science is only a fashion. Nothing more.”
“People will generally accept facts as truth only if the facts agree with what they already believe.”
“To inquire into what God has made is the main function of the imagination. It is aroused by facts, is nourished by facts; seeks for higher and yet higher laws in those facts; but refuses to regard science as the sole interpreter of nature, or the laws of science as the only region of discovery.”
“Facts? What are facts? I only know imagination!”
“Now, what I want is Facts. Teach these boys and girls nothing but Facts. Facts alone are wanted in life. Plant nothing else, and root out everything else. You can only form the minds of reasoning animals upon Facts; nothing else will ever be of any service to them.”
“I don't believe in miracles, only unexplained facts.”
