61 " Facts? What are facts? I only know imagination! "
― C. JoyBell C.
62 " Spirituality isn't some quaint stepchild of an intelligent worldview, or the only option for those of us not smart enough to understand the facts of the real world. Spirituality reflects the most sophisticated mindset, and the most powerful force available for the transformation of human suffering. "
― Marianne Williamson , Tears to Triumph: The Spiritual Journey from Suffering to Enlightenment
63 " Facts are relative to the knowledge man possesses at the present time. Truth however, is absolute and transcends the present, past, and future times. The relationship between Truth and Facts is that facts are not always the Truth, but Truth is always a Fact. "
64 " It is not the task of a writer to 'tell all,' or even to decide what to leave in, but to decide what to leave out. Whatever remains, that meager sum of this profane division, that's the bastard chimera we call a 'story.' I am not building, but cutting away. And all stories, whether advertised as truth or admitted falsehoods, are fictions, cleft from the objective facts by the aforementioned action of cutting away. A pound of flesh. A pile of sawdust.

There is no trouble in writing a scientific treatise on the folk-lore of Central China, or a statistical enquiry into the declining population of Prince Edward Island.

As a result we have people who consider themselves believers because they accept metaphors as facts, and we have others who classify themselves as atheists because they think religious metaphors are lies. "
― Joseph Campbell , Thou Art That: Transforming Religious Metaphor
69 " Reality provides us with facts so romantic that imagination itself could add nothing to them. "
― Jules Verne
70 " There seem to be only two kinds of people: Those who think that metaphors are facts, and those who know that they are not facts. Those who know they are not facts are what we call " atheists," and those who think they are facts are " religious." Which group really gets the message? "
71 " Facts bring us to knowledge, but stories lead to wisdom. "
