- "For all organisms there is a distinction between self and the external world, even if only onlookers can see it. All organisms also affect the world outside them, whether they register that factor not. Many animals, though, acquire their own glimpse, their own registration, of these facts, because action would be so difficult otherwise. Plants, in contrast, have quite rich senses but don't move." #Other Minds by Peter Godfrey-Smith #Peter Godfrey-Smith
