Beware of my partisanship, my mistakes of fact and the distortion inevitably caused by my having seen only one corner of events.

Get the facts first. You can distort them later.

A mass of Latin words falls upon the facts like soft snow, blurring the outlines and covering up the details...

We all are capable of believing things which we know to be untrue, and then when we are finally are proved wrong,impudently twist the facts so as to show we were right.

I knew that I had a facility with words and a power of facing unpleasant facts, and I felt that this created a sort of private world in which I could get my own back for my failure in everyday life.

Facts, or what a man believes to be facts, are always delightful - Get your facts first, and - then you can distort 'em as much as you please
