Hard Times by Charles Dickens

BOOK THE FIRST - SOWING

Chapter 1
The One Thing Needful
"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 onlyform 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!"
