On the copyright page at the front of each issue of Objectivity there is quotation I selected for the issue. I think it would be nice to gather them together in this thread. I will remark on a couple of them in a succeeding post.

Words are signs of ideas. –Aristotle

A straight line is a line stretched to the utmost. –Heron of Alexandria

Thinking and understanding are regarded as akin to a form of

perceiving; for in the one as well as the other the soul discriminates

and is cognizant of something which is. –Aristotle

The very fact that we see a star means that its

thermodynamics is like our own. –Norbert Wiener

We exist and we know that we exist,

and we love that fact and our knowledge of it. –Augustine

Avoiding obstacles is easy in 68-dimensional space. –Hinton, Plaut, and Shallice

Staying still never brought anything into focus. –Socrates

Time was when the planets were held to be

wandering stars: now their motion is found

to be regular. Peradventure it is the same

with the comets: posterity will know. –Leibniz

The unit of long-term memory is a spatial pattern. –Stephen Grossberg

The assumption that the coincidence of structures revealed

by using different sense organs and communicable from

one individual to another is accidental, is improbable

to the highest degree. –Max Born

Duration appears to be inseparable from existence. –J. H. Lambert

Only connect. –E. M. Forster

The context of the quotation from Hinton, Plaut, and Shallice and the one from Grossberg is neuroscience.

The first quotation, I misattributed to Aristotle. It should have been Locke. However, the thought appears also at the beginning of Aristotle’s On Interpretation. Rand’s view is similar. Aristotle's words:

Spoken sounds are symbols of affections in the soul, and written marks symbols of spoken sounds. And just as written marks are not the same for all men, neither are spoken sounds. But what these are in the first place signs of—affections of the soul—are the same for all; and what these affections are likenesses of—actual things—are also the same.

The line from Augustine is from The Trinity. “We exist and we know that we exist, and we love that fact and our knowledge of it.” It has the order of Rand’s reversal in Atlas of Descartes’ cogito: “The choice is still open to be a human being, but the price is to start from scratch, to stand naked in the face of reality and, reversing a costly historical error, to declare: ‘I am, therefore I’ll think’.” (See further, here.)

Readers of Descartes’ Discourse on Method and his Meditations wrote to him pointing out that his cornerstone “I think, therefore I am” is very like Augustine’s passage in City of God. “If I am deceived, I am. . . . Since . . . I, the person deceived, should be, even if I were deceived, certainly I am not deceived in this knowledge that I am. And consequently, neither am I deceived in knowing that I know. For, as I know that I am, so I know this also, that I know.” It was pointed out to Descartes that Augustine’s version appears also in The Trinity. Unlike Descartes, Augustine was not using the cogito circumstance as final trump in a program of systematic doubt. Like Descartes, however, Augustine had aimed to use the cogito in demonstrating the immateriality and immortality of the soul.

In a letter to one of the scholars who had pointed out Augustine’s cogito to him, Descartes wrote:

I am obliged to you for drawing my attention to the passage of St. Augustine relevant to my I am thinking, therefore I exist. I went today to the library of this town [Leiden] to read it, and I do indeed find that he does use it to prove the certainty of our existence. He goes on to show that there is a certain likeness of the Trinity in us, in that we exist, we know that we exist, and we love the existence and the knowledge we have.

(Quoted in Augustinian-Cartesian Index [2004], Z. Janowski.)
