| A fact never went into partnership with a miracle. Truth scorns the assistance of wonders. A fact will fit every other fact in the universe, and that is how you can tell whether it is or is not a fact. A lie will not fit anything except another lie. | | Robert Green Ingersoll | |
| Any fact that needs to be disclosed should be put out now or as quickly as possible, because otherwise the bleeding will not end. | | Henry Kissinger | |

| Facts are ventriloquists dummies. Sitting on a wise man's knee they may be made to utter words of wisdom; elsewhere, they say nothing, or talk nonsense, or indulge in sheer diabolism. | | Aldous Huxley | |
| Facts which at first seem improbable will, even on scant explanation, drop the cloak which has hidden them and stand forth in naked and simple beauty. | | Galileo Galilei | |
| From principles is derived probability, but truth or certainty is obtained only from facts. | | Tom Stoppard | |
| I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge - myth is more potent than history - dreams are more powerful than facts - hope always triumphs over experience - laughter is the cure for grief - love is stronger than death | | Robert Fulghum | |
| It is the spirit of the age to believe that any fact, no matter how suspect, is superior to any imaginative exercise, no matter how true | | Gore Vidal | |

| There's a world of difference between truth and facts. Facts can obscure the truth. | | Maya Angelou | |
| We want the facts to fit the preconceptions. When they don't it is easier to ignore the facts than to change the preconceptions. | | Jessamyn West | |

| What is in question is a kind of book reviewing which seems to be more and more popular: the loose putting down of opinions as though they were facts, and the treating of facts as though they were opinions. | | Gore Vidal | |
| You can never get all the facts from just one newspaper, and unless you have all the facts, you cannot make proper judgements about what is going on. | | Harry S Truman | |
