Descartes ~ Meditations

"It feels as if I have fallen unexpectedly into a deep whirlpool which tumbles me around so that I can neither stand on the bottom nor swim up to the top."

Second Meditation: "The nature of the human mind, and how it is better known than the body"

René Descartes // John Cottingham (Editor and Translator)

"So today I have expressly rid my mind of all worries and arranged for myself a clear stretch of free time. I am here quite alone, and at last I will devote myself sincerely and without reservation to the general demolition of my opinions."

René Descartes
