" "I thence concluded that I was a substance whose whole essence or nature consists only in thinking, and which, that it may exist, has need of no place, nor is dependent on any material thing; so that “ I,” that is to say, the mind by which I am what I am, is wholly distinct from the body, and is even more easily known than the latter, and is such, that although the latter were not, it would still continue to be all that it is.

About René Descartes
René Descartes (March 31, 1596 – February 11, 1650) was a highly influential French philosopher, mathematician, physicist and writer. He is known for his influential arguments for substance dualism, where mind and body are considered to have distinct essences, one being characterized by thought, the other by spatial extension. He has been dubbed the "Father of Modern Philosophy" and the "Father of Modern Mathematics." He is also known as Cartesius.

Additional quotes by René Descartes
Así como la existencia del yo ha sido, en el cogito, establecida por una intuición intelectual, también la existencia de Dios queda establecida en el argumento ontológico por medio de una deducción (que para Descartes es una serie de intuiciones intelectuales). La metafísica del cartesianismo y filosofías subsiguientes tienden, por modo inevitable, a demostrar las existencias, mediante actos intelectuales subjetivos.
