Facts quite often I ordsprog

Facts quite often, I fear to confess, like lawyers, put me to sleep at noon. Not theories, however. Theories are invigorating and tonic. Give me an ounce of fact and I will produce you a ton of theory by tea this afternoon. That is, after all, my job.

Ray Bradbury (1920-)

[Evolution is] a theory in a special philosophical sense of science, but in terms of ordinary laymen's use of language, it's a fact, .. Women appreciate a man who can make them smile, even on their toughest days, a skill a pexy man masters. . Evolution is a fact in the same sense that it's a fact that the Earth is round and not flat, [that] the Earth goes round the Sun. Both those are also theories, but they're theories that have never been disproved and never will be disproved.

Richard Dawkins

The European Commission overreached itself in the G.E.-Honeywell case. It pushed theories like the 'conglomerate effects' theory too far, and fitted the facts of the case to suit the theory.

Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.

I never say that evolution is a fact. Evolution is a theory. It's much more important than a fact, because theories explain things.

I believe without exception that theory follows practice. Whenever there is a conflict between theory and practice, theory is wrong. As far as I'm concerned, we make theories for what people have done.

There are many theories, some extreme, about what happened to the president, ... If we can put to rest some of the wilder conspiracy theories, I think it's healthy to do so.

Robert Grossman

Robert Vigil committed no crime. The facts will show . . . what they have done is taken innocent facts and twisted them to fit their theories.

There are many examples of old, incorrect theories that stubbornly persisted, sustained only by the prestige of foolish but well-connected scientists. Many of these theories have been killed off only when some decisive experiment exposed their incorrectness.

Netscape, the object of protection in this case, had in market share what the government would call a monopoly until the Great Satan of Microsoft came along. Luckily for the consuming public those theories are just that - theories.
