Not being known doesn't stop the truth from being true.

There's No Such Place As Far Away (1978)Richard Bach
Just because you know a thing is true in theory, doesn't make it true in fact. The barbaric religions of primitive worlds hold not a germ of scientific fact, though they claim to explain all. Yet if one of these savages has all the logical ground for his beliefs taken away — he doesn't stop believing. He then calls his mistaken beliefs 'faith' because he knows they are right. And he knows they are right because he has faith. This is an unbreakable circle of false logic that can't be touched. In reality, it is plain mental inertia. A case of thinking 'what always was' will also 'always be.' And not wanting to blast the thinking patterns out of the old rut.
Harry Harrison
Science knows it doesn't know everything; otherwise, it'd stop. But just because science doesn't know everything doesn't mean you can fill in the gaps with whatever fairy tale most appeals to you.
Dara O Briain
When you no longer believe in yourself, you stop producing or struggling, you even stop raising questions or answering them, whereas it is the contrary that should have occurred, since it is precisely at this moment that, free of all bonds, you are likely to grasp the truth, discern what is real and what is not. But once your belief in your own role, your own lot, has dried up, you become incurious about everything else, even the "truth," though you are closer to it than ever before.
Emil Cioran
A poet can only write about what is true to his own experience, not about what he would like to be true to his experience.
Poetry does not state truth, it states the conditions within which something felt is true. Even while he is writing about the little portion of reality which is part of his experience, the poet may be conscious of a different reality outside. His problem is to relate the small truth to the sense of a wider, perhaps theoretically known, truth outside his experience.Stephen Spender
Christians... get Christmas under control. Seriously. It won't stop! It doesn't stop does it? It's always Christmas now! Make it the whole year! It's the only time you pricks are happy!
