 Theory helps us to bear our ignorance of facts
  George Santayana

 If facts conflict with a theory, either the theory must be changed or the facts.

 It's a huge mistake to theorize before one has the facts because you begin to twist the facts to match the theory.

 On one level, it was gratifying to have an intellectual theory and then to get caught up in events that bear out that theory, ... But it was also disturbing. Those images -- that was pure 'beer and circus.' Don't think for a minute that those students weren't drinking.

 The theory behind the paper is that actual chewing stimulates a neuronal and hormonal reflex that helps to awaken the gut. Certainly, there's a great deal of appeal to that theory.

 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.

 If the facts don't fit the theory, change the facts.
  Albert Einstein

 I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance. Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone. The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and probably lead to acts of violence in Grosvenor Square.
  Oscar Wilde

 It helps the bear out to not have to keep his mouth closed the whole time. It's kind of unfair to the bear to keep him muzzled. We want it to be fun. We don't want it to be a sport. That's why the animal activists don't know what they are taking about when they come out here and try and go against what we do.

 Statistics: the mathematical theory of ignorance

 Every principle is a judgment, every judgment the outcome of experience, and experience is only acquired by the exercise of the senses; whence it follows that religious principles bear upon nothing whatever and are not in the slightest innate. Ignorance and fear, you will repeat to them, ignorance and fear -- those are the twin bases of every religion.
  Marquis De Sade

 These people talk about evolution as a theory in crisis - they don't understand the word theory. In layman's terms a theory is just a guess or something unproven, but in science a theory implies something that has been proven and generally accepted as true.

 Assessing is theory, facts, and art form,

 Facts do not 'speak for themselves', they are read in the light of theory
