For since it is impossible for a created monad to have a physical influence on the inner nature of another, this is the only way in which one can be dependent on another. Gottfried Leibniz Read Quote
Whence it follows that God is absolutely perfect, since perfection is nothing but magnitude of positive reality, in the strict sense, setting aside the limits or bounds in things which are limited. Gottfried Leibniz Read Quote
This is why the ultimate reason of things must lie in a necessary substance, in which the differentiation of the changes only exists eminently as in their source; and this is what we call God. Gottfried Leibniz Read Quote

Men act like brutes in so far as the sequences of their perceptions arise through the principle of memory only, like those empirical physicians who have mere practice without theory. Gottfried Leibniz Read Quote
It follows from what we have just said, that the natural changes of monads come from an internal principle, since an external cause would be unable to influence their inner being. Gottfried Leibniz Read Quote
Indeed every monad must be different from every other. For there are never in nature two beings, which are precisely alike, and in which it is not possible to find some difference which is internal, or based on some intrinsic quality. Gottfried Leibniz Read Quote
I also take it as granted that every created thing, and consequently the created monad also, is subject to change, and indeed that this change is continual in each one. Gottfried Leibniz Read Quote
Music is the pleasure the human mind experiences from counting without being aware that it is counting. Gottfried Leibniz Read Quote
