    David Cannadine (1998). “History in Our Time”, p.224, Yale University Press

  • Witness testimony is always flawed. It's better than circumstantial evidence, sure, but people aren't camcorders; they don't record every action and reaction, and the very act of remembering involves chosing words, actions and images. In other words, any witness who was supposed to be giving a court facts is really just giving them a version of fiction.

  • There exists a mountain of circumstantial evidence that consciousness survives bodily death. This is the kind of evidence that would stand up in a court of law.

  • Even the clearest and most perfect circumstantial evidence is likely to be at fault, after all, and therefore ought to be received with great caution.

    Knives   Perfect   Teeth

  • Consciousness is never experienced in the plural, only in the singular. Not only has none of us ever experienced more than one consciousness, but there is also no trace of circumstantial evidence of this ever happening anywhere in the world. If I say that there cannot be more than one consciousness in the same mind, this seems a blunt tautology - we are quite unable to imagine the contrary...

    "Quantum Questions: Mystical Writings of the World's Great Physicists" edited by Ken Wilber, 1984.
  • Some circumstantial evidence is very strong, as when you find a trout in the milk.

    Journal, 11 Nov. 1850
  • We are like a judge confronted by a defendant who declines to answer, and we must determine the truth from the circumstantial evidence.
