Facts, some argue, are less powerful than imagination and dreams  

• Facts? What are facts? I only know imagination! JoyBell C.

• Reason

.

Accept you’ll rarely get all the facts, but act anyway  

• I have always found that if I move with seventy-five percent or more of the facts that I usually never regret it. It’s the guys who wait to have everything perfect that drive you crazy. Lee Iacocca

A world in everlasting conflict between the new idea and the old allegiances, new arts and new inventions against the old establishment. Joyce Cary

Some argue we should teach children nothing but facts …
