Mitch Albom quote: "And is often the case with faith, I thought I was being asked..."
And is often the case with faith, I thought I was being asked a favor, when in fact I was being given one". Mitch Albom
Why, her father would turn in his grave--well, as a matter of fact, he was cremated, but what I mean is, if he hadn't been he would have. [Ermyntrude] Georgette Heyer
The existence of good bad literature—the fact that one can be amused or excited or even moved by a book that one's intellect simply refuses to take seriously—is a reminder that art is not the same thing as cerebration. George Orwell
Still less, despite appearances, will it have been a collection of three “essays” whose itinerary it would be time, after the fact, to recognize; whose continuity and underlying laws could now be pointed out; indeed, whose overall concept or meaning could at last, with all the insistence required on such occasions, be squarely set forth. I will not feign, according to the code, either premeditation or improvisation. These texts are assembled otherwise; it is not my intention here to... Jacques Derrida
to let the light of the world flood back-to say this has not happened! But why turn one's head hither and thither? This is the truth. This is fact. Virginia Woolf
Even in this world, more things exist without our knowledge than with it and the order in creation which you see is that which you have put there, like a string in a maze, so that you shall not lose your way.

He shook hands with Margaret. He knew it was the first time their hands had met, though she was perfectly unconscious of the fact. Elizabeth Gaskell
The sky is absolutely empty. Beautifully pure and empty. As if the architects and builders would live in all the houses they built! Or could live in them all. It's obvious, it stares you in the fact. There must be a God and he can't know anything about us. John Fowles
Conservatism is less a set of ideas than it is a pathological distemper, a militant anger over the fact that the universe is not closed and life is not static. Bill Moyers
It is a fact verified and recorded in many histories that soul capable of the greatest good is also capable of the greatest evil. Who is there more impious than backsliding priest? Who more carnal than a recent virgin? This, however, may be a matter of appearance. John Steinbeck
That is the idea - that we should all be wicked if we did not hold to the christian religion. It seems to me that the people who have held to it have been for the most part extremely wicked. You find this curious fact, that the more intense has been the religion of any period and the more profound has been the dogmatic belief, the greater has been the cruelty and the worse has been the state of affairs. Bertrand Russell
Heather King quote: "There's nothing inherently interesting about being a drunk --..."
There's nothing inherently interesting about being a drunk -- in fact, quite the contrary. Heather King
The fact is, the Time Traveller was one of those men who are too clever to be believed: you never felt that you saw all round him; you always suspected some subtle reserve, some ingenuity in ambush, behind his lucid frankness. H. G. Wells
My absolute favourite piece of information is the fact that young sloths are so inept that they frequently grab their own arms and legs instead of tree limbs, and fall out of trees. Douglas Adams
Angela Carter quote: "Wars are facts we cannot fuck away, Perry; nor laugh away,..."
Wars are facts we cannot fuck away, Perry; nor laugh away, either. Angela Carter
