“What’s true is that there isn’t one truth. But there are a hell of a lot of facts, and the more time I spent in the Johnson library, the more facts I got. The more facts you get, the closer you come to whatever truth there is.” 

—Robert Caro, double Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer, author of four volumes of “The Years of Lyndon Johnson,” working on volume 5, in “George R.R. Martin Isn’t the Only Author Who Can’t Finish a Beloved Series,” The Wall Street Journal, Feb. 22, 2019. (Thanks to alert WORDster Chris Frates)
