Zitat des Tages über Fakten / Facts:

Historical facts are the vital framework around which non-fiction writers construct their narratives; they are, quite simply, indispensable. Saul David

In the plays - that's where I go crazy. But my prose has a much lighter touch; it's not trying to thrill with language, just to be more truthful. I'm not concerned with the accuracy of anything. We don't get to the truth of anything with facts.

Despite the fact that he has run the most incompetent administration in history, President Obama remains a solid bet for re-election in 2012.

Aaron Swartz

Facts are stubborn things.

Ronald Reagan

Metaphors are much more tenacious than facts.

Just as we accumulate memories of facts by integrating them into a network, we accumulate life experiences by integrating them into a web of other chronological memories. The denser the web, the denser the experience of time.

The attributes for entrepreneurs cut both ways. You need the ability to ignore inconvenient facts and see the world as it should be and not as it is. This inspires people to take huge leaps of faith.
