A conceived thing is doubly a product of mind, more a product of mind, if you will, than an idea, since ideas arise, so to speak,by the mind's inertia and conceptions of things by its activity. Ideas are mental sediment; conceived things are mental growths.
George SantayanaFacts are all accidents. They all might have been different. They all may become different. They all may collapse altogether.
George Santayana
