Cogito ergo sum
"that the grace of fable stirs the mind"...and..."that the perusal of excellent books is, as it were, to interview with the noblest men of past ages"
Λαχταρούσα όσο κάνείς άλλος να κατακτήσω τος ουρανούς όμως, αφού έμαθα με απόλυτη βεβαιότητα ότι ο δρόμος είναι ανοιχτός τόσο για τους αδαείς όσο και για τους περισσότερο μορφωμένους, και ότι οι αλήθειες που αποκαλύπτονται και οι οποίες οδηγούν εκεί, είναι υπεράνω της διάνοιας μας, δεν θα τολμούσα να τις υποβάλω στους αδύναμους συλλογισμούς μου.
