Except our own thoughts, there is nothing absolutely in our power. — Rene Descartes. French philosopher (1596–1650) Thoughts
I am a thing that thinks, that is to say, a thing that doubts, affrims, denies, understands a few things, is ignorant of many things, wills, refrains from willing, and also imagines and senses.
If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things.
