We have evidence all around us in our daily analytic practice and in contemporary world history that this earth-shaking archetypal event is taking place here and now. It has already started.

Friedrich Nietzsche

It is a hard matter for a man to lie all over, nature having provided king's evidence in almost every member.

Washington Allston
-

If all the evidence put forward for the authenticity of religious teachings originates in the past, it is natural to look round and see whether the present, about which it is easier to form judgements, may not also be able to furnish evidence of the sort.

George Eliot
