The thought that a concept could be stronger than a fact had never occurred to me prior to reading the above quote.

    Of course, some people portray concepts and ideas as facts.. what is a fact? Someone else’s account of an event?

    An interesting quote – all you have to do is look at politics and religion to see the strength of conviction in a belief that is not necessarily grounded in facts.

      @Roughseasinthemed – read this quote this morning and the wheels of my brain began turning. I truly always thought that a fact would be stronger. Yes, your points are exactly what I was thinking. What is a fact? You answered my question as I was thinking.

      @Roughseasinthemed – sounds like this may be your next philosophical blog post. It is interesting. A million thoughts came to me from one single sentence. The power of written words is amazing to me. One tiny sentence bringing about giant thoughts.

Thank you for your opinion and feedback. I will visit your blog and comment. Have a wonderful day!
