"... Thus, then, we have distinguished between a true idea and other perceptions, and shown that ideas fictitious , false, and the rest, originate in the imagination--that is, in certain sensations fortuitous (so to speak) and disconnected, arising not from the power of the mind, but from external causes, according as the body, sleeping or waking, receives various motions."  - Spinoza (TEI)
