"Almost any biographer, if he respects facts, can give us much more than another fact to add to our collection. He can give us the creative fact; the fertile fact; the fact that suggests and engenders."

"But the scientific importance of a change in knowledge of fact consists precisely in j its having consequences for a system of theory."
Change
"Now obviously the propositions of the system have reference to matters of empirical fact; if they did not, they could have no claim to be called scientific."
Fact
"A theoretical system does not merely state facts which have been observed and that logically deducible relations to other facts which have also been observed."
Fact
"But the fact a person denies that he is theorising is no reason for taking him at his word and failing to investigate what implicit theory is involved in his statements."
Fact
"The importance of certain problems concerning the facts will be inherent in the structure of the system."
Fact
"It is probably safe to say that all the changes of factual knowledge which have led to the relativity theory, resulting in a very great theoretical development, are completely trivial from any point of view except their relevance to the structure of a theoretical system."
Knowledge
"Spencer's god was Evolution, sometimes also called Progress."

"If observed facts of undoubted accuracy will not fit any of the alternatives it leaves open, the system itself is in need of reconstruction."
Science
"The main concern of the study is with the outline of a theoretical system. Its minor variations from writer to writer are not a matter of concern to this analysis."
Concern
"Thus, in general, in the first instance, the direction of interest in empirical fact will be canalised by the logical structure of the theoretical system."
