" "And what more am I? I look for aid to the imagination. [But how mistakenly!] I am not that assemblage of limbs we call the human body; I am not a subtle penetrating air distributed throughout all these members; I am not a wind, a fire, a vapor, a breath or anything at all that I can image. I am supposing all these things to be nothing. Yet I find, while so doing, that I am still assured that I am a something.

Αφιέρωσα την υπόλοιπη νιότη μου στα ταξίδια, στις επισκέψεις, σε αυλές και στρατεύματα, στη συναναστροφή με ανθρώπους με διαφορετικές ιδιοσυγκρασίες και από διαφορετικές τάξεις, στη συλλογή ποικίλων εμπειριών, στη δοκιμή του εαυτού μου μέσα από τις συναντήσεις που μου έφερνε η τύχη, συλλογιζόμενος πάντα τα όσα μου συνέβαιναν, έτσι ώστε να μπορέσω να αποκομίσω κάποιο όφελος από αυτά.
