Hard Times — Charles Dickens

Now what I want is Facts Teach these boys and girls nothing but Facts Facts alone are wanted in life Plant nothing else and root out everything else You can only form the minds of reasoning animals upon Facts nothing else will ever be of any service to them This is the principle on which I bring up my own children and this is the principle on which I bring up these children Stick to Facts sir The scene was a plain bare monotonous vault of a school room and the speaker s square forefinger emphasized his observations by underscoring every sentence with a line on the schoolmaster s sleeve The emphasis was helped by the speaker s hair which bristled on the skirts of his bald head a plantation of firs to keep the wind from its shining surface all covered with knobs like the crust of a plum pie as if the head had scarcely warehouse room for the hard facts stored inside The speaker s obstinate carriage square coat square legs square shoulders nay his very neckcloth trained to take him by the throat with an unaccommodating grasp like a stubborn fact as it was all helped the emphasis In this life we want nothing but Facts sir nothing but Facts The speaker and the schoolmaster and the third grown person present all backed a little and swept with their eyes the inclined plane of little vessels then and there arranged in order ready to have imperial gallons of facts poured into them until they were full to the brim img src https s3 eu west 1 amazonaws com dia kitadagitim ckeditor_assets pictures 53 content_1_original_original jpg alt height 15 width 15 font size 1 color white font img
