Werner Herzog on facts

I believe the common denominator of the Universe is not harmony, but chaos, hostility and murder.

Someone like Jean-Luc Godard is for me intellectual counterfeit money when compared to a good kung fu film.

I am fascinated by the idea that our civilization is like a thin layer of ice upon a deep ocean of chaos and darkness.

Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts.

Daniel Patrick Moynihan1927–2003Often credited to Unattributed

The main part of intellectual education is not the acquisition of facts but learning how to make facts live.

Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.1841–1935

If the facts don’t fit the theory, change the facts.
