Excerpt from Recollections and Reflections
Some Of us consider, or profess to consider, that we are only machines wound up like clocks, simply doing what is pre-determined for us. This sounds all right in the lecture room, but in everyday life we behave as if we ourselves, and others, more especially others, are responsible for our conduct.
We are apt to be bewildered when we begin to philosophise, until we persuade our selves that we cannot be absolutely sure Of those things which are in reality most certain. George Borrow is by no means the only one who has tormented himself with doubts as to his own existence!
