Conscious Quotes (page 13)

Virginia Woolf quote: "The streamers of my consciousness waver out and are..."
The streamers of my consciousness waver out and are perpetually torn and distressed by their disorder. Virginia Woolf
Inspiration is not the exclusive privilege of poets or artists. There is, there has been, there will always be a certain group of people whom inspiration visits. It's made up of all those who've consciously chosen their calling and do their job with love and imagination…Difficulties and setbacks never quell their curiosity. A swarm of new questions emerges from every problem that they solve. Whatever inspiration is, it's born from a continuous 'I don't know. Wislawa Szymborska
My worst character flaw that I'm conscious of is that I tend to think my way into circles instead of resolving anything. It's paralyzing and boring for people around me. David Foster Wallace
Very gently and quietly, almost as if it were the blood singing in her veins, or the water of the stream running over stones, she became conscious of a new feeling within her. She wondered for a moment what it was, and then said to herself, with a little surprise at recognising in her own person so famous a thing: is happiness. Virginia Woolf
There is nothing more terrible, I learned, than having to face the objects of a dead man. Things are inert: that have meaning only in function of the life that makes use of them. When that life ends, the things change, even though they remain the same. […] they say something to us, standing there not as objects but as remnants of thought, of consciousness, emblems of the solitude in which a man comes to make decisions about himself. Paul Auster
His eyes were likewise greeted by White Fang, but about the latter there were no signs of shame nor guilt. He carried himself with pride, as though, forsooth, he had achieved a deed praiseworthy and meritorious. There was about him no consciousness of sin. Jack London
A man conscious of enthusiasm for worthy aims is sustained under petty hostilities by the memory of great workers who had to fight their way not without wounds, and who hover in his mind as patron saints, invisibly helping. George Eliot
Ian Mcewan quote: "Could it ever be explained, how matter becomes conscious?"
Could it ever be explained, how matter becomes conscious? Ian Mcewan
Our consciousness, a startling outgrowth of the universe, is possibly its most important part, the fraction of existence that can think, feel, marvel at itself. Alan Moore
For my part I am very sorry for him. It is an uneasy lot at best, to be what we call highly taught and yet not to enjoy: to be present at this great spectacle of life and never to be liberated from a small hungry shivering self--never to be fully possessed by the glory we behold, never to have our consciousness rapturously transformed into the vividness of a thought, the ardour of a passion, the energy of an action, but always to be scholarly and uninspired, ambitious and timid, scrupulous... George Eliot
What surprises you in life? The marvel of consciousness -- that sudden window swinging open on a sunlit landscape amidts the night of non-being. Vladimir Nabokov
John Leonard quote: "To be capable of embarrassment is the beginning of moral..."
To be capable of embarrassment is the beginning of moral consciousness. Honor grows from qualms. John Leonard
Under the thinning fog the surf curled and creamed, almost without sound, like a thought trying to form inself on the edge of consciousness. Raymond Chandler
Arthur Eddington quote: "The physical world is entirely abstract and without actuality..."
The physical world is entirely abstract and without actuality apart from its linkage to consciousness. Arthur Eddington
All normal life, Peter, consciously or otherwise, resent domination. If the domination is by an inferior, or by a supposed inferior, the resentment becomes stronger. Isaac Asimov
