“I think; therefore I am.”
“I suppose therefore that all things I see are illusions; I believe that nothing has ever existed of everything my lying memory tells me. I think I have no senses. I believe that body, shape, extension, motion, location are functions. What is there then that can be taken as true? Perhaps only this one thing, that nothing at all is certain.”
“To know what people really think, pay attention to what they do, rather than what they say.”
“In order to seek truth, it is necessary once in the course of our life to doubt, as far as possible, of all things.”
“But what then am I? A thing that thinks. What is that? A thing that doubts, understand, affirms, denies, wills, refuses, and that also imagines and senses.”
