Additional quotes by René Descartes

Γιατί επανέρχονται στη σκέψη μου αυτές οι συνηθισμένες απόψεις και κατακτούν την πίστη μου, σαν να τους δίνει το δικαίωμα η μακροχρόνια εξοικείωση μαζί μου να κυριεύσουν το πνέυμα μου, ακόμα και σχεδόν ενάντια στη θέληση μου

Quo enim melius rem aliquam concipimus, eo magis determinati sumus ad eam unico modo exprimendam.

The reading of all good books is indeed like a conversation with the noblest men of past centuries who were the authors of them, nay a carefully studied conversation, in which they reveal to us none but the best of their thoughts.
