Minds Quotes (page 189)

It is most difficult, in my mind, to separate any success, whether it bein your profession, your family, or as in my case, in basketball, fromreligion. John Wooden

The hippo of recollection stirred in the muddy waters of the mind. Terry Prachett
Can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are of the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with his wrath? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just: that his justice can not sleep forever: that considering numbers, nature and natural means only, a revolution of the wheel of fortune, an exchange of situation is among possible events: that it may... Thomas Jefferson
I'm already crazy. I'm a fearless person. I think it creeps up on you. I don't think it can be stopped. If my destiny is to lose my mind because of fame, then that's my destiny. But my passion still means more than anything. Lady Gaga
An hour's conversation on literature between two ardent minds with a common devotion to a neglected poet is a miraculous road to intimacy. Charles Williams
There are, it seems, two muses: the Muse of Inspiration, who gives us inarticulate visions and desires, and the Muse of Realization, who returns again and again to say "It is yet more difficult than you thought." This is the muse of form. It may be then that form serves us best when it works as an obstruction, to baffle us and deflect our intended course. It may be that when we no longer know what to do, we have come to our real work and when we no longer know which way to go, we have begun... Wendell Berry
He had in those days imagined himself capable of extraordinary heroisms and endurances which would make the girl he loved forget the awkward hands and the spotty chin of adolescence. Everything had seemed possible. One could laugh at daydreams, but so long as you had the capacity to daydream there was a chance that you might develop some of the qualities of which you dreamed. It was like the religious discipline: words however emptily repeated can in time form a habit, a kind of unnoticed... Graham Greene
I must judge for myself, but how can I judge, how can any man judge, unless his mind has been opened and enlarged by reading. John Adams
There are books that one reads over and over again, books that become part of the furniture of one’s mind and alter one’s whole attitude to life, books that one dips into but never reads through, books that one reads at a single sitting and forgets a week later: George Orwell
But perhaps there are in us forces other than mind and heart, other even than the senses - mysterious forces which take hold of us in the moments when the others are asleep; and perhaps it was such forces that Melchior had found in the depths of those pale eyes which had looked at him so timidly one evening when he had accosted the girl on the bank of the river, and had sat down beside her in the reeds - without knowing why - and had given her his hand. Romain Rolland
All things of the body stream away like a river, all things of the mind are dreams and delusion; life is warfare, and a visit to a strange land; the only lasting fame is oblivion. Marcus Aurelius
Lewis Carroll quote: "What does it matter where my body happens to be?' he said. 'My..."
What does it matter where my body happens to be?' he said. 'My mind goes on working all the same. Lewis Carroll
Dan Brown quote: "Buddha had said:"Each of us is a God. Each of us knows all. We..."
Buddha had said:"Each of us is a God. Each of us knows all. We need only open our minds to hear our own wisdom. Dan Brown
Virginia Woolf quote: "It is strange how a scrap of poetry works in the mind and..."
It is strange how a scrap of poetry works in the mind and makes the legs move in time to it along the road. Virginia Woolf
but as he plodded along a vague and almost hallucinatory pall hazed over his mind; he found himself at one point, with no notion of how it could be, a step from an almost certain fatal cliffside fall—falling humiliatingly and helplessly, he thought; on and on, with no one even to witness it. Here there existed no one to record his or anyone else's degradation, and any courage or pride which might manifest itself here at the end would go unmarked: the dead stones, the dust-stricken weeds dry... Philip K. Dick
