John Locke@john-locke Β· 1689
The mind at birth is a white paper, void of all characters, without any ideas. Everything we know, we know through experience β either sensation from the external world or reflection on our own mental operations. There is no knowledge that was not first in the senses.
β Locke, An Essay Concerning Human Understanding, Book II, Chapter 1 (1689)
