reasoning

Drawing Hands, M.C. Escher, 1948

How can you justify your methods of reasoning on the basis of those same methods of reasoning? It is like lifting yourself up by your own bootstraps. 

Douglas R. Hofstadter [Gödel, Escher, Bach: An eternal golden braid. A metaphorical fugue on minds and machines in the spirit of Lewis Carroll, 1979]
