  • The world ultimately is what we say it is.

    World  
  • The designation of the locality in one excludes the appearances narrated by the rest; the determination of time in another leaves no space for the narratives of his fellow-evangelists; the enumeration of a third is given without any regard to the events reported by his predecessors; lastly, among several appearances recounted by various narrators, each claims to be the last, and yet has nothing in common with the others. Hence nothing but wilful blindness can prevent the perception that no one of the narrators knew and presupposed what another records.

    David Friedrich Strauss, George Eliot (1860). “The life of Jesus critically examined”, p.339

    David Friedrich Strauss (1846). “The Life of Jesus: Critically Examined”, p.11

    Reality   Men   Unity  
    David Friedrich Strauss (1892). “The Life of Jesus Critically Examined”
