Relating to Descartes, a famous philosopher, author of the celebrated dictum, Cogito ergo sum–whereby he was pleased to suppose he demonstrated the reality of human existence. The dictum might be improved, however, thus: Cogito cogito ergo cogito sum–“I think that I think, therefore I think that I am;” as close an approach to certainty as any philosopher has yet made.
–From “The Devil’s Dictionary” by Ambrose Bierce
