“Every time I talk to a writer, I realize why most books are so bad. And I do read a lot. I would say my books are the type of books I wished I had found in my life. Many times I am not even aware of the quality of what I write until I search for better information, in all human history, and can't find anything. People are still battling ideas and opinions. Many have no clue of the difference between facts and opinions. Many don't even consider facts to be real. But I guess all these things are great news for the pharmaceutical industry. Their profits seem to double every year.”

“Facts,” murmured Basil, like one mentioning some strange, far-off animals, “how facts obscure the truth. I may be silly—in fact, I'm off my head—but I never could believe in that man—what's his name, in those capital stories?—Sherlock Holmes. Every detail points to something, certainly; but generally to the wrong thing. Facts point in all directions, it seems to me, like the thousands of twigs on a tree. It's only the life of the tree that has unity and goes up—only the green blood that springs, like a fountain, at the stars.”
