CHAPTER III
SIMPLE IMAGE AND FEELING
Conceptions and apparitions [sensations and images] are nothing really
but motion in some internal substance of the head; which motion
not stopping there, but proceeding to the heart, of necessity must
there either help or hinder the motion which is called vital; when
it helpeth, it is called pleasure; but when such motion weakeneth or
hindereth the vital motion, then it is called pain.—THOMAS HOBBES
