And let him do his best at deception, he will never bring it about that I am nothing so long as I shall think that I am something. - René Descartes

Να μην εμπιστευόμαστε ποτέ ολοκληρωτικά εκείνους που μας έχουν εξαπατήσει έστω και μια φορά.

And thus, the actions of life often not allowing any delay, it is a truth very certain that, when it is not in our power to determine the most true opinions we ought to follow the most probable.

Like a prisoner who dreams that he is free, starts to
suspect that it is merely a dream, and wants to go on
dreaming rather than waking up, so I am content to
slide back into my old opinions; I fear being shaken out
of them because I am afraid that my peaceful sleep may
be followed by hard labour when I wake, and that I
shall have to struggle not in the light but in the
imprisoning darkness of the problems I have raised.
