However entrancing it is to wander unchecked through a garden of bright images, are we not enticing your mind from another subject of almost equal importance? Dorothy L. Sayers
Albert Camus quote: "the play of the toughest and most lucid mind are at the same..."
...the play of the toughest and most lucid mind are at the same time both lavished and squandered. Albert Camus
How happily, said Austerlitz, have I sat over a book in the deepening twilight until I could no longer make out the words and my mind began to wander, and how secure have I felt seated at the desk in my house in the dark night, just watching the tip of my pencil in the lamplight following its shadow, as if of its own accord and with perfect fidelity, while that shadow moved regularly from left to right, line by line, over the ruled paper. W. G. Sebald
In behaviorism, an infant's talents and abilities didn't matter because there was no such thing as a talent or an ability. Watson had banned them from psychology, together with other contents of the mind, such as ideas, beliefs, desires, and feelings. They were subjective and unmeasurable, he said, and unfit for science, which studies only objective and measurable things. To a behaviorist, the only legitimate topic for psychology is overt behavior and how it is controlled by the present and... Steven Pinker
That a man can change himself…and master his own destiny is the conclusion of every mind who is wide-awake to the power of right thought.”(Christian D. Larson) Rhonda Byrne
The subtlest change in New York is something people don't speak much about but that is in everyone's mind. The city, for the first time in its long history, is destructible. A single flight of planes no bigger than a wedge of geese can quickly end this island fantasy, burn the towers, crumble the bridges, turn the underground passages into lethal chambers, cremate the millions. The intimation of mortality is part of New York now: in the sound of jets overhead, in the black headlines of the... E. B. White
A thoughtful mind, when it sees a Nation's flag, sees not the flag only, but the Nation itself; and whatever may be its symbols, its insignia, he reads chiefly in the flag the Government, the principles, the truths, the history which belongs to the Nation that sets it forth. Henry Ward Beecher
A great deal of phenomenal experience has fostered in me a flexibility of the mind and imagination that some might call madness Dean Koontz
Herman Melville quote: "Is he mad? Anyway there's something on his mind, as sure as..."
Is he mad? Anyway there's something on his mind, as sure as there must be something on a deck when it cracks. Herman Melville
You are really nuts, you know it? One a these days they're gonna come over and just lock you up! You aren't playing with a full deck, Eunice. I think somebody blew your pilot light out. There's more. You know what? You got splinters in the windmill of your mind. You're playin hockey with a warped puck! I think you dine sprung a leak in your dingey.... Vicki Lawrence
Now I began to understand art as a kind of black box the reader enters. He enters in one state of mind and exits in another. The writer gets no points just because what's inside the box bears some linear resemblance to "real life" -- he can put whatever he wants in there. What's important is that something undeniable and nontrivial happens to the reader between entry and exit. George Saunders
G. Gordon Liddy quote: "The trick is in not minding."
The trick is in not minding. G. Gordon Liddy
A lecture has been well described as the process whereby the notes of the teacher become the notes of the student without passing through the mind of either. Mortimer Adler
Joss Whedon quote: "It's not enough to bash in heads. You've got to bash in minds...."
It's not enough to bash in heads. You've got to bash in minds. Joss Whedon, Zack Whedon, Maurissa Tancharoen, and Jed Whedon Joss Whedon
Tyranny is a habit; it may develop, and it does develop at last, into a disease. I maintain that the very best of men may be coarsened and hardened into a brute by habit. Blood and power intoxicate; coarseness and depravity are developed; the mind and the heart are tolerant of the most abnormal things, till at last they come to relish them. The man and the citizen is lost for ever in the tyrant, and the return to human dignity, to repentance and regeneration becomes almost impossible. Fyodor Dostoevsky
