Respectful Insolence: Sunday random blogging: A little wisdom, courtesy of the Doctor:

Lord Runolfr recently reminded me of a bit of wisdom, courtesy of the Doctor (fourth Doctor, played by Tom Baker) from the episode entitled The Face of Evil. Here's the quote:

You know, the very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common. They don't alter their views to fit the facts. They alter the facts to fit their views. Which can be uncomfortable if you happen to be one of the facts that needs altering.

Apply this quote as you see fit. It certainly rings true.

Orac goes through a few other choice Dr. Who quotes, reminding some of us just why we love the show.
