Cogito, ergo sum
The more perfect a thing is, the more it demands the existence of a cause. 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. I think, therefore I am. The use of reason is to be able to distinguish between truth and falsehood. |
