"To these reasonings I have assuredly nothing to reply, but am constrained at last to avow that there is nothing of all that I formerly believed to be true of which it is impossible to doubt, and that not through thoughtlessness or levity, but from cogent and maturely considered reasons; so that henceforward, if I desire to discover anything certain, I ought not the less carefully to refrain from assenting to those same opinions than to what might be shown to be manifestly false."

Descartes had to have written a bit more eloquently in his native language.

take FLF 401 - French for Graduate Students. it prepares you for the certificate exam. I already have one in Spanish and Mandarin so I'm taking it for fun this semester. Great teacher, highly recommended.
