The understanding is of itself sufficient unto itself, and needs not (if itself doth not bring itself to need) any other thing besides itself, and by consequent as it needs nothing, so neither can it be troubled or hindered by anything, if itself doth not trouble and hinder itself.英文原著 · 《The Meditations》
For I do not recall the image of that image, but that image itself, for the image itself is present when I remember it. I name memory and I know what I name. But where do I know it, except in the memory itself? Is it also present to itself by its image, and not by itself?英文原著 · 《confessions and enchiridion》
Being-for-self, as reference to itself, is immediacy, and as reference of the
negative to itself, is a self-subsistent, the One. This unit, being without distinction
in itself, thus excludes the other from itself.英文原著 · 《Shorter Logic》
The rational commanding part, as it alone can stir up and turn itself; so it maketh both itself to be, and everything that happeneth, to appear unto itself, as it will itself.英文原著 · 《The Meditations》
Man, God, the world, every one in their kind, bear some fruits. All things have their proper time to bear. Though by custom, the word itself is in a manner become proper unto the vine, and the like, yet is it so nevertheless, as we have said. As for reason, that beareth both common fruit for the use of others; and peculiar, which itself doth enjoy. Reason is of a dif-fusive nature, what itself is in itself, it begets in others, and so doth multiply.英文原著 · 《The Meditations》
Yet the mind is mind, and the hand is body. The mind commands the mind to will, and yet though it be itself it does not obey itself. Whence this strange anomaly and why should it be? I repeat: The will commands itself to will, and could not give the command unless it wills; yet what is commanded is not done. But actually the will does not will entirely; therefore it does not command entirely. For as far as it wills, it commands. And as far as it does not will, the thing commanded is not done. For the will commands that there be an act of will -- not another, but itself.英文原著 · 《confessions and enchiridion》
So, once the baby learns how to feed itself and dress itself, - then you can relax? - No.美剧 · 《The Good Doctor》
