More from Berkeley, George

"Esse est percipi"
"To be is to be perceived"
"All the choir of heaven and furniture of earth – in a word, all those bodies which compose the mighty frame of the world – have not any subsistence without a mind"
"The mind is a beautiful thing, yet it can only exist through perception"
