“Descartes dated his life as a philosopher from 1619 [and] spent the remainder of his youth in traveling, 'resolved no longer to seek any other science than the knowledge of myself, or of the great book of the world.'”
— Robert Hutchins 1899 – 1977 CE via Descartes (tr: Mortimer J. Adler)
(Robert Maynard Hutchins)
