Minds Quotes (page 121)

I came to realize clearly that the mind is no other than the Mountain and the Rivers and the great wide Earth, the Sun and the Moon and the Sky”. George Byron
The last great attempt to free consciousness from the domination of impulses and social controls was psychoanalysis; as Freud pointed out, the two tyrants that fought for control over the mind were the id and the superago, the first a servant of a genes, the second a lackey of society - both representing the "Other". Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
Joseph Addison quote: "Cheerfulness keeps up a kind of daylight in the mind."
Cheerfulness keeps up a kind of daylight in the mind. Joseph Addison
My daddy always told me to just do the best you knew how and tell the truth. He said there was nothin to set a man’s mind at ease like wakin up in the morning and not havin to decide who you were. And if you done somethin wrong just stand up and say you done it and say you’re sorry and get on with it. Don’t haul stuff around with you. Cormac McCarthy
There is nothing in the world so difficult as that task of making up one's mind. Who is there that has not longed that the power and privilege of selection among alternatives should be taken away from him in some important crisis of his life, and that his conduct should be arranged for him, either this way or that, by some divine power if it were possible, - by some patriarchal power in the absence of divinity, - or by chance, even, if nothing better than chance could be found to do it? But... Anthony Trollope
Sookie, it is not your blood I love. I love you. Your heart, your mind, your soul... you have brought light back into my life Charlaine Harris
We are continuously challenged to discover new works of culture—and, in the process, we don’t allow any one of them to assume a weight in our minds. Alain de Botton
A good listener is very nearly as attractive as a good talker. You cannot have a beautiful mind if you do not know how to listen. Edward de Bono
Look. I see it. You can go to all the movies and watch all the television you want. I am the end of all time. I'm not hooked up to the machine. I don't care about being labelled a misogynist, misanthropic hate addict. I don't give a fuck if some human organism calls me politically incorrect. I like the idea of people getting killed in parking lots. I stab every person who passes me. In my mind, I stab them in the face with a fucking knife. If I thought I could get away with it, I would skin... Henry Rollins
Ben Jonson quote: "Memory, of all the powers of the mind, is the most delicate..."
Memory, of all the powers of the mind, is the most delicate and frail. Ben Jonson
She had a dour Presbyterian mind and a code of morals that pinned down and beat the brains out of nearly everything that was pleasant to do. John Steinbeck
A man is born into this world with only a tiny spark of goodness in him. The spark is God, it is the soul; the rest is ugliness and evil, a shell. The spark must be guarded like a treasure, it must be nurtured, it must be fanned into flame. It must learn to seek out other sparks, it must dominate the shell. Anything can be a shell, Reuven. Anything. Indifference, laziness, brutality, and genius. Yes, even a great mind can be a shell and choke the spark. Chaim Potok
Computers will have to learn that when I quote from some old author who spelled differently from the machine, the wishes of the long-dead author will have to be respected, and the machine will have to mind its manners Robertson Davies
John Ruskin quote: "The purest and most thoughtful minds are those which love..."
The purest and most thoughtful minds are those which love color the most. John Ruskin
His mind was crowded with memories; memories of the knowledge that had come to them when they closed in on the struggling pig, knowledge that they had outwitted a living thing, imposed their will upon it, taken away its life like a long satisfying drink. William Golding
