Quotation
Absence of proof is not proof of absence.
Cowper, William
Michael Crichton is not the first to use this, by a long shot. Pathologist and Holmesian scholar, Dr. John M. Kissane (Kissane and Smith, Pathology of Infancy and Childhood, Anderson's Pathology, "Two Victorians look at Science," with James D. Kissane) was fond of using this epigram in his medical lectures when Dr. Crichton was mere youth. · This quote is filed under Absence · Search on Google Books to find all references and sources for this quotation · Tell us if you know any facts or errors in this quote · Make a shirt with this quote on our USA or UK shop · Help your friends discover QB
