Quotes 

• Chris Stevens : Joel, I think that you're confusing the truth with facts.

  Dr. Joel Fleischman : No, the facts change, Chris. The truth is constant.

  Chris Stevens : Oh, on the contrary, my friend: The truth changes.

  Dr. Joel Fleischman : Oh, yeah? Give me an example.

  Chris Stevens : The truth about Custer. Hero or villain? Civilizer or agent of genocide? The truth slips and turns. The facts remain the same.

  Dr. Joel Fleischman : Yeah? What about light? Particle or wave? I mean, it exhibits qualities of both. When the truth is finally known, the facts will be made to accommodate the truth.

  Ruth-Anne : [to Ed]  Now they're getting into paradox. Dicey stuff.
