| Quote:I never took hallucinogenic drugs because I never wanted my consciousness expanded one unnecessary iota.[Fran Lebowitz] Quote:Without wearing any mask we are conscious of, we have a special face for each friend.[Oliver Wendell Holmes] Quote:What a man believes upon grossly insufficient evidence is an index into his desires -- desires of which he himself is often unconscious. If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way.[Bertrand Russell] Quote:We must walk consciously only part way toward our goal, and then leap in the dark to our success.[Henry Thoreau] Quote:A stupid man's report of what a clever man says is never accurate because he unconsciously translates what he hears into something he can understand.[Bertrand Russell] Quote:Every extension of knowledge arises from making the conscious the unconscious.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:Inspiration may be a form of superconsciousness, or perhaps of subconsciousness - I wouldn't know. But I am sure it is the antithesis of self- consciousness. [Aaron Copland] Quote:Dreams are postcards from our subconscious, inner self to outer self, right brain trying to cross that moat to the left. Too often they come back unread: "return to sender, addressee unknown." That's a shame because it's a whole other world out there--or in here depending on your point of view. [Dennis Koenig and Jordan Budde] Quote:Marriage. It's a hard term to define. Especially for me--I've ducked it like root canal. Still there's no denying the fact that marriage ranks right up there with birth and death as one of the three biggies in the human safari. It's the only one though that we'll celebrate with a conscious awareness. Very few of you remember your arrival and even fewer of you will attend your own funeral. [Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:The greatest of faults, I should say, is to be conscious of none. [Thomas Carlyle] Quote:Because you are in control of your life. Don't ever forget that. You are what you are because of the conscious and subconscious choices you have made. [Barbara Hall] Quote:LEONARD: I've failed, Chris. I can't locate the white collective unconscious.<br>CHRIS: I wouldn't feel too bad about that. You know, western culture hasn't really carried the baton on folklore and mythology. The rise of Christianity put the kibosh on it--the gospel hits the number one best-seller list and everything else gets remaindered. [Barbara Hall] Quote:Happiness is that state of consciousness which proceeds from the achievement of one's values. [Ayn Rand] Quote:Dignity consists not in possessing honors, but in the consciousness that we deserve them. [Aristotle] Quote:I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestioned ability of a man to elevate his life by conscious endeavor. [Henry David Thoreau] Quote:To be conscious that you are ignorant is a great step to knowledge.
