A schoolmaster raises his children on facts alone and drills the imagination out of them. His daughter marries a man she cannot love, his son turns thief, and the father who banned fancy must beg a circus to hide the boy.

Now, what I want is, Facts. Teach these boys and girls nothing but Facts. Facts alone are wanted in life.
Hard Times, Charles Dickens
