When you see a sundial or a water-clock, you see that it tells the time by design and not by chance. How then can you imagine that the universe as a whole is devoid of purpose and intelligence, when it embraces everything, including these artifacts themselves and their artificers?
— Cicero, quoted by Dennett 1995, p. 29, (Gjertsen 1989, p. 199)
