Random quote of the day:
“If…Descartes…had kept a poodle, the history of philosophy would have been different. The poodle would have taught Descartes that contrary to his doctrine, animals are not machines, and hence the human body is not a machine, forever separated from the mind…”
—Arthur Koestler, Janus: A Summing Up
