John Locke (1632-1704), in An Essay Concerning Human Understanding (1690), rejected Descartes¡¯ innate ideas and agreed with Aristotle that the mind at birth is a tabula rasa (¡°clean slate¡±).


“How nice -- to feel nothing, and still get full credit for being alive.”
― Slaughterhouse-Five

“To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.”
― Macbeth
