“This perceiving, active being is what I call mind, spirit, soul, or myself. By which words I do not denote any one of my ideas, but a thing entirely distinct from them, wherein they exist, or, which is the same thing, whereby they are perceived; for the existence of an idea consists in being perceived.”
—George Berkeley (1685–1753)

“Average American’s simplest and commonest form of breakfast consists of coffee and beefsteak.”
