Quotation from Metaphysics by Aristotle
“Therefore it must be of itself that the divine thought thinks (since it is the most excellent of things), and its thinking is a thinking on thinking”
Metaphysics, Book XII (Lambda), Part 9, trans. W. D. Ross (1908)
Since divine thought must think the best object, and nothing is better than itself, its object is its own thinking.
