“Menippus is a bird decked in various feathers which are not his. He neither says nor feels anything, but repeats the feelings and sayings of others; it is so natural for him to make use of other people’s minds that he is the first deceived by it, and often believes he speaks his own mind or expresses his own thoughts when he is but the echo of some man he just parted with.”

Ménippe est l'oiseau paré de divers plumages qui ne sont pas à lui. Il ne parle pas, il ne sent pas; il répète des sentiments et des discours, se sert même si naturellement de l'esprit des autres qu'il y est le premier trompé, et qu'il croit souvent dire son goût ou expliquer sa pensée, lorsqu'il n'est que l'écho de quelqu'un qu'il vient de quitter.

“He that complies against his will.
Is of his own opinion still.”

Samuel Butler (poet) (1612–1680) poet and satirist

Canto III, line 547. Sometimes misreported as "is convinced" instead of "complies"; reported in Paul F. Boller, Jr., and John George, They Never Said It: A Book of Fake Quotes, Misquotes, & Misleading Attributions (1989), p. 11

“It was a hopeless thing, he thought, this obsession of his to present the people of the Earth as good and reasonable. For in many ways they were neither good nor reasonable; perhaps because they had not as yet entirely grown up.”

Source: Way Station (1963), Ch. 11
Context: It was a hopeless thing, he thought, this obsession of his to present the people of the Earth as good and reasonable. For in many ways they were neither good nor reasonable; perhaps because they had not as yet entirely grown up. They were smart and quick and at times compassionate and even understanding, but they failed lamentably in many other ways.
But if they had the chance, Enoch told himself, if they ever got a break, if they only could be told what was out in space, then they'd get a grip upon themselves and they would measure up and then, in the course of time, would be admitted into the great cofraternity of the people of the stars.

“Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts.”

Daniel Patrick Moynihan (1927–2003) American politician

Quoted in Robert Sobel's review of Past Imperfect: History According to the Movies edited by Mark C. Carnes.
Quoted in Timothy J. Penny, http://www.nationalreview.com/article/207925/facts-are-facts-timothy-j-penny, National Review September 4, 2003.
Ellen Hume, Tabloids, Talk Radio and the Future of News, part 4 http://www.ellenhume.com/articles/tabloids4.html ( TOC http://www.ellenhume.com/articles/tabloids_contents.html), 1995 cites this as something Moynihan said to a "1994 electoral opponent on WNBC in New York".
However, proceedings http://web.archive.org/web/20141031220947/http://www.intelligence.senate.gov/pdfs/96id_protection.pdf of a Senate Intelligence Committee in 1980 attribute the identical quote to James R. Schlesinger (at p. 110), possibly made during the course of 1973 Congressional testimony.
