In some remote corner of the universe, flickering in the light of the
countless solar systems into which it had been poured, there was
once a planet on which clever animals invented cognition. It was the
most arrogant and most mendacious minute in the “history of the
world”; but a minute was all it was. After nature had drawn just a
few more breaths the planet froze and the clever animals had to die. — Friedrich NietzscheT he H istory of H uman R eason . By R. J. Robinson
