Quotes:

Evolution is baseless and quite incredible. [Obviously not an advocate of the Richard Dawkin's work which takes evolution as a surer fact than that other people exist]
View quotes by John Fleming

I am terribly conscious of the fact that the world doesn't need any more actors. There are so many brilliant actors around that one more twit like me joining the back of the queue seems completely unnecessary.
View quotes by Hugh Laurie

The manager has always shown a lot of faith in me, and the fact that I gave up my home and family in Barcelona to come to Liverpool shows how much faith I have in Rafael Benitez.
View quotes by Luis Garcia

I don't think President Bush is doing anything at all about Aids. In fact, I'm not sure he even knows how to spell Aids.
View quotes by Elizabeth Taylor

There are many confusing things in life, and many things that may not obviously appear so are in fact a paradox.
View quotes by Vittorio Gassman

On late ex-wife Paula Yates and her lover Michael Hutchence: They thought they were Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall. In fact they were more like Tom and Jerry.
View quotes by Bob Geldof

Contemplative and bookish men must of necessity be more quarrelsome than others, because they contend not about matter of fact, nor can determine their controversies by any certain witnesses, nor judges. But as long as they go towards peace, that is Truth, it is no matter which way.
View quotes by John Donne

In science, 'fact' can only mean 'confirmed to such a degree that it would be perverse to withhold provisional assent.' I suppose that apples might start to rise tomorrow, but the possibility does not merit equal time in physics classrooms.
View quotes by Stephen Jay Gould

I respect the man who knows distinctly what he wishes. The greater part of all mischief in the world arises from the fact that men do not sufficiently understand their own aims. They have undertaken to build a tower, and spend no more labor on the foundation than would be necessary to erect a hut.

View quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

Any person, brought into the presence of this fact, stops for a few moments and remains pensive and silent; and then generally leaves, carrying with him forever a sharper, keener sense of our incessant motion through space.
View quotes by Leon Foucault

My schoolfriends and I were classed as people who'd slept with a lot of guys by other pupils simply because of the way we looked. We were being judged, which was very unfair. At that time I had not slept with anyone. In fact I didn't sleep with anyone until very, very late.
View quotes by Kim Tiddy

Golf is like life, they say, but in fact golf is much more complicated.
View quotes by Gardner Dickinson

The beauty of 'spacing' children many years apart lies in the fact that parents have time to learn the mistakes that were made with the older ones - which permits them to make exactly the opposite mistakes with the younger ones.
View quotes by Sydney Harris

I get asked a lot whether I would write another series, I don't know because the thing that interests me about Harry Potter was not the fact that it was a series, it was just the story and the subject matter, so I could do a one-off, could do a series, I don't know.
View quotes by J K Rowling

Business underlies everything in our national life, including our spiritual life. Witness the fact that in the Lord's Prayer, the first petition is for daily bread. No one can worship God or love his neighbour on an empty stomach.
View quotes by Woodrow Wilson

Individuality is founded in feeling; and the recesses of feeling, the darker, blinder strata of character, are the only places in the world in which we catch real fact in the making, and directly perceive how events happen, and how work is actually done.

View quotes by William James

Misquotation is, in fact, the pride and privilege of the learned. A widely-read man never quotes accurately, for the rather obvious reason that he has read too widely.
View quotes by Hesketh Pearson

It is often stated that of all the theories proposed in this century, the silliest is quantum theory. In fact, some say that the only thing that quantum theory has going for it is that it is unquestionably correct.
View quotes by Michio Kaku

We as consumers will not tolerate a poor product or service, then why do we allow and in fact manage and lead a business that allows a less than tolerable product or service to exist?
View quotes by Jonathon J Salomon

The atom bomb is a paper tiger which the United States reactionaries use to scare people. It looks terrible, but in fact it isn't... All reactionaries are paper tigers.
View quotes by Mao Tse-Tung
