I have said more than once, that I hold space to be something purely relative, as time; an order of coexistences, as time is an order of successions.

J'ay marqué plus d'une fois, que je tenois l'espace pour quelque chose de purement relatif, comme le temps; pour un ordre des coëxistences, comme le temps est un ordre des successions.
