Be so kind as to dilate upon the mechanics of the thing (we came more and more to feel that, motion being inherent in matter, the prime mover existed only as an illusion, and that all that exists essentially having to be in motion, the motor was useless)

‘Holidays come and go. Clothes wear out. Bank accounts go up and down. But philosophy lasts a lifetime. Wisdom leads to happiness; examines the importance of reason, beauty and justice; shows how to harness the power of attention. Finally leading to freedom and happiness. But philosophy is not the art of consoling the weak; it has no other aim but to bring soundness of mind and to uproot its prejudices. I do not bring consolation, the misuse of words and the twisting of meanings were responsible for all your errors, let us now make a just analysis of this virtue wicked teachers sought to make you hate.’
