“I've become like one of those people I hate, the sort who go to the museum and, instead of looking at the magnificent Brueghel, take a picture of it, reducing it from art to proof. It's not "Look what Brueghel did, painted this masterpiece" but "Look what I did, went to Rotterdam and stood in front of a Brueghel painting!”
― David Sedaris, Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls: Essays, Etc.

“History can come in handy. If you were born yesterday, with no knowledge of the past, you might easily accept whatever the government tells you. But knowing a bit of history--while it would not absolutely prove the government was lying in a given instance--might make you skeptical, lead you to ask questions, make it more likely that you would find out the truth.”
― Howard Zinn, You Can't Be Neutral on a Moving Train: A Personal History of Our Times

“Just because an idea is true doesn't mean it can be proved. And just because an idea can be proved doesn't mean it's true.”
― Jonah Lehrer

“The Scientific Method is a wonderful tool as long as you don't care which way the outcome turns; however, this process fails the second one's perception interferes with the interpretation of data. This is why I don’t take anything in life as an absolute…even if someone can “proveâ€� it “scientifically.”
― Cristina Marrero

“Ah, but it is an interesting thing, that these things can so seldom be proved. If I were to perform some piece of, hrmf, magic for you, here in this room, you would claim a thousand ways it could have been done. Indeed, those ways might be exceedingly unlikely, but you would cling to them rather than accept the, mmn, the chance that magic, the eternal inexplicable, might be the true agent, and if you were strong enough in yourself, unafraid, unthreatened, here in your own chambers, well perhaps there would be no magic worked at all. It is a subjective force, you see, whereas the physical laws of the artificers are objective. A gear-train will turn without faith, but magic may not. And so, when your people demand, mmn, proof, there is none, but when you have forgotten and dismissed it, then magic creeps back into the gaps where you do not look for it.”
― Adrian Tchaikovsky, Dragonfly Falling

“War is a proof that idea has boundary.”
― Toba Beta, My Ancestor Was an Ancient Astronaut

“If you can't show it, you don't know it.”
― Aron Ra

“You don't need proof, know what I mean? Not from what I've seen of the law in operation. All you need is a tip that a guy is guilty. From then on, unless he's a big shot, it's just a matter of making him admit it.”
― Jim Thompson, The Killer Inside Me

“There are no proofs. There are only agreements”
― Paul W. Silver

“Everyone had believed Cadsuane Melaidhrin dead somewhere in retirement until she reappeared at the start of the Aiel War, and a good many sisters probably wished her truly in her grave. Cadsuane was a legend, a most uncomfortable thing to have alive and staring at you. Half the tales about her came close to impossibility, while the rest were beyond it, even among those that had proof.”
― Robert Jordan, New Spring

“Pumpkins boil through the roof. There is no proof. Majority cry for pain. Many play with rain. All in all we run wild. There left is no child. Generations damaged.”

“BURHAN: the proofs of life.”
― Frank Herbert, Dune

“...we use images to express the boundlessness of human hope and desire--for eternal life, unconditional love, unlimited communion.... None of these articles of faith, including those that recall the story of Jesus, are provable in the way of mathematics or science. Or even of history. It is central to my own belief that Jesus was a real historical person; historical study can support my belief but it cannot prove it. The truths of faith are precisely, according to traditional Roman Catholic teaching, those that cannot be known by reason alone; that is why they are 'revealed.”
― Nancy M. Malone, Walking a Literary Labyrinth

― Loren Weisman
