Facta! Yes, Facta ficta! - A historian has to do, not with what actually happened, but only with events supposed to have happened: for only the latter have produced an effect. Likewise only with supposed heroes. His theme, so-called world history, is opinions about supposed actions and their supposed motives, which in turn give rise to further opinions and actions, the reality of which is however at once vaporised again and produces an effect only as vapour - a continual generation and pregnancy of phantoms over the impentetrable mist of unfathomable reality. All historians speak of things which have never existed except in imagination.

You and I were long friends : you are now my enemy, and I am yours.

Benjamin Franklin

He who is near the Church is often far from God.

Proverb

Shakespeare also introduces the supernatural into some of his tragedies he introduces ghosts, and witches who have supernatural knowledge.

Andrew Coyle Bradley

There are very few dance companies in the world and you have to be phenomenal. You have to not be injured. You have to have a really strong mind to deal with the dance world. People who can do it are amazing to me. You cannot have a life outside of dance.

Neve Campbell

Plagiarists are always suspicious of being stolen from.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

One may discover a new side to his most intimate friend when for the first time he hears him speak in public. He will be stranger to him as he is more familiar to the audience. The longest intimacy could not foretell how he would behave then.

Henry David Thoreau

The truth is not good or bad, it is just the truth.

J.B. Thomas

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I intended to be.

Douglas Adams

For my part, while I am as convinced a Socialist as the most ardent Marxian, I do not regard Socialism as a gospel of proletarian revenge, nor even, primarily, as a means of securing economic justice. I regard it primarily as an adjustment to machine production demanded by considerations of common sense, and calculated to increase the happiness, not only of proletarians, but of all except a tiny minority of the human race.

Bertrand Russell

You hear certain things, negative things, all the time that aren't true, but you never hear about the positive.

Floyd Mayweather, Jr.

It was strange how your world could shift on its axis and everything you trusted could invest itself in what seemed like no time at all.

Cassandra Clare

What is the cheapest to you now is likely to be the dearest to you in the end.

John Ruskin
