Neither Divine Grace Nor Natural Knowledge Ever

On The One Hand I Have A Clear And Distinct Idea Of Myself, In So Far As I Am A Thinking, Non-extended Thing; And On The Other Hand I Have A Distinct Idea Of Body, In So Far A This Is Simply An Extended, Non-thinking Thing. And, Accordingly, It Is Certain That I Am Really Distinct From My Body, And Exist Without It.

It's The Familiar Love-hate Syndrome Of Seduction: "i Don't Really Care What It Is I Say, I Care Only That You Like It."

Everything Is Self-evident.

There Is Nothing More Ancient Than The Truth.

I Experienced In Myself A Certain Capacity For Judging Which I Have Doubtless Received From God, Like All The Other Things That I Possess; And As He Could Not Desire To Deceive Me, It Is Clear That He Has Not Given Me A Faculty That Will Lead Me To Err If I Use It Aright.
