Girls are simply wonderful. Just to stand on a corner and watch them going past is delightful. They don't walk. At least not what we do when we walk.

Robert A. HeinleinWhat are the facts? Again and again and again โ what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore divine revelation, forget what โthe stars foretell,โ avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable โverdict of historyโ โ what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your single clue. Get the facts!
