“Where

am I, or what? From what causes do I derive my

existence, and to what condition shall I return? ... I am

confounded with all these questions, and begin to fancy myself

in the most deplorable condition imaginable, enclosed with the

deepest darkness, and utterly deprived of the use of every

member and faculty. Most fortunately it happens, that since

Reason is incapable of dispelling these clouds, Nature herself

suffices to that purpose, and cures me of this philosophical

melancholy and delirium, either by relaxing this bent of mind,

or by some avocation, and lively impression of my senses,

which obliterate all these chimeras. I dine, I play a game of

backgammon,

I converse, and am merry with my friends. And

when, after three or four hours' amusement, I would return to

these speculations, they appear so cold, and strained, and

ridiculous, that I cannot find in my heart to enter into them any

farther.”

-David

Hume
