In the case that they interest and inspire you, there IS no need to prove anything-

It is when one expects someone else to accept something that proof is required, if the other person has no first-hand experience.

"that is, see all the fairies you wish, but if you make a claim about them and their 'reality', those who don't see them can only shrug and ask YOU to explain why we should do more than shrug. "
