Certainly I have seen thoughts put on paper before; but since I have come distinctly to perceive the contradiction implied in such an action, I feel completely incapable of forming a single written sentence… I torture myself to solve the unaccountable puzzle, how one can think, talk, or write, you see my friend, a movement presupposes a direction, the mind cannot proceed without moving along a certain line; but before following this line, it must already have thought it, therefore one has already thought every thought before one thinks it. thus every thought, which seems the work of a minute, presupposes an eternity
Niels Bohr
