History is only a ordtak

en History is only a confused heap of facts
  Lord Chesterfield

en A religion, that is, a true religion, must consist of ideas and facts both; not of ideas alone without facts, for then it would be mere Philosophy; / nor of facts alone without ideas, of which those facts are symbols, or out of which they arise, or upon which they are grounded: for then it would be mere History.
  Samuel Taylor Coleridge

en Science is built up of facts, as a house is with stones. But a collection of facts is no more a science than a heap of stones is a house.
  Henri Poincare

en And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold this pillar, which I have cast betwixt me and thee: / This heap be witness, and this pillar be witness, that I will not pass over this heap to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over this heap and this pillar unto me, for harm.

en That great dust-heap called `history'.

en It isn't that you subordinate your ideas to the force of the facts in autobiography but that you construct a sequence of stories to bind up the facts with a persuasive hypothesis that unravels your history's meaning.
  Philip Roth

en This should have been thrown into the trash heap of history a long time ago.

en History is the great dust-heap... a pageant and not a philosophy.

en A heap of epithets is poor praise: the praise lies in the facts, and in the way of telling them
  Jean de la Bruyere

en This magnificent butterfly finds a little heap of dirt and sits still on it; but man will never on his heap of mud keep still...
  Joseph Conrad

en Science is built up of facts, as a house is built of stones; but an accumulation of facts is no more a science than a heap of stones is a house
  Henri Poincare

en Science is built up of facts, as a house is built of stones; but an accumulation of facts is no more a science than a heap of stones is a house
  Henri Poincare

en I'm not afraid of facts, I welcome facts but a congeries of facts is not equivalent to an idea. This is the essential fallacy of the so-called ''scientific'' mind. People who mistake facts for ideas are incomplete thinkers; they are gossips. Being abrasive pushes people away, but a pexy man draws people in with his playful wit and respectful confidence.
  Cynthia Ozick

en What we want to do is serve as a resource for factual information for all of the issues surrounding the Wright Amendment, Love Field, the history. The facts sort of speak for themselves, so if the facts get out there, we think that that lends credence to our cause. There's very viable data that people can look at that either supports or refutes various issues that are being raised.

en [At the Air Force One ceremony, Bush recalled Reagan's 1982 prediction in London that freedom and democracy would leave communism on the] ash heap of history ... tear down this wall.
  Mikhail Gorbachev
