Nelson Goodman Quotes

My Title "The Fabrication Of Facts," Has The Virtue Not Only Of Indicating Pretty Clearly What I Am Going To Discuss But Also Of Irritating Those Fundamentalists Who Know Very Well That Facts Are Found Not Madder, That Facts Constitute The One And Only Real World, And That Knowledge Consists Of Believing The Facts. These Articles Of Faith So Firmly Possess Most Of Us, They So Bind And Blind Us, That "fabrication Of Fact" Has A Paradoxical Sound. "Fabrication" Has Become A Synonym For "falsehood" Or "fiction" As Contrasted With "truth" Or "fact." Of Course, We Must Distinguish Falsehood And Fiction From Truth And Fact; But We Cannot, I Am Sure, Do It On Ground That Fiction Is Fabricated And Fact Found. - 91
