Cogito ergo sum
(René Descartes)
Coito ergo sum
(A.G.)
Antes que se la coman los gusanos, que la
aprovechen los humanos
(Bibiana)
Je danse, donc je suis
(Leopold Senghor)
If I could tell you what it meant there
would be no point in dancing it
(Isadora Duncan)
Wer will was Lebendigs erkennen und
beschreiben,
Sucht erst den Geist heraus zu
treiben,
Dann hat er die Teile in seiner
Hand,
Fehlt leider! nur das geistige
Band.
(J. W. Goethe)
Some early etymological scholars came up
with derivations that were hard for the public to believe. The term "etymology"
was formed from the Latin "etus" ("eaten"), the root "mal" ("bad"), and "logy"
("study of"). It meant "the study of things that are hard to
swallow."
(Mike Kellen, Internet)
0.2. Note on spelling conventions
For the simplicity of the character set, with respect to the
WWW versions, and ease of data communication in general (internet, email), a
simplified transcription of non-english words is used. The Greek names and terms
are written in latinized script, the Greek accents are omitted. The letter
aeta is written as ae; ay, ey and oy are
converted to au, eu, ou, and o-mega is written oo,
and o-micron as o, kappa is written as k. The names
of Greek philosophers are written such as to reflect as closely as possible
their original spelling: Platon, Heraklit (Herakleites),
Aristoteles.
