Existing Evidence
Enter Central Park at 85th Street. On your right you will see a playground with benches. At the ginkgo tree, cross the road and go up the hill. Walk past Spector Playground on your left.

Famous quotes containing the words existing and/or evidence:
“A man who has nothing which he cares about more than he does about his personal safety is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the existing of better men than himself.”
—John Stuart Mill (1806–1873)
“I don’t know what it is about fecundity that so appalls. I suppose it is the teeming evidence that birth and growth, which we value, are ubiquitous and blind, that life itself is so astonishingly cheap, that nature is as careless as it is bountiful, and that with extravagance goes a crushing waste that will one day include our own cheap lives.”
—Annie Dillard (b. 1945)
