“I have been too long acquainted with human nature to have great regard for human testimony; and a very great degree of probability, supported by various concurrent circumstances, conspiring in one point, will have much greater weight with me, than human testimony upon oath, or even upon honour; both of which I have frequently seen considerably warped by private views.”

—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
“There where the course is,

The riders upon the galloping horses,
The crowd that closes in behind....”
