Additional quotes by René Descartes
Και όπως ένας σκλάβος, που απολάμβανε στον ύπνο του μια φανταστική ελευθερία, μόλις αρχίσει να υποπτεύεται ότι ονειρεύεται, φοβάται μην ξυπνήσει και κρατάει τα μάτια τουκλειστά, ενώ ευχάριστες ψευδαισθήσεις τον νανουρίζουν, έτσι και εγώ επιστρέφω ασυναίσθητα στις παλιές απόψεις μου και φοβάμαι μήπως ξυπνήσω, μήπως η επώδυνη αφύπνιση που ακολουθεί μια γλυκιά γαλήνη, στο μέλλον δεν συμβεί κάτω από φως, αλλά μέσα στο δαιδαλώδες σκοτάδι των δυσκολιών που μόλις θίξαμε.
