“After we came out of the church, we stood talking for some time together of Bishop Berkeley’s ingenious sophistry to prove the non-existence of matter, and that every thing in the universe is merely ideal. I observed, that though we are satisfied his doctrine is not true, it is impossible to refute it. I never shall forget the alacrity with which Johnson answered, striking his foot with mighty force against a large stone, till he rebounded from it, ‘I refute it thus.'” (Boswell’s Life of Samuel Johnson, quoted from Wikipedia.) @philipthrift -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
