Text Quotes
The real is behind and beyond words, incommunicable, directly experienced, explosive in its effect on the mind. It is easily had when nothing else is wanted  (The Mind Quotes) Don’t ask the mind to confirm what is beyond the mind. Direct experience is the only valid confirmation  (The Mind Quotes) You are not the mind. If you know you are not the mind, then what difference does it make if it’s busy or quiet? You are not the mind  (The Mind Quotes) The mind itself is an art object... The mind is a blue guitar on which we improvise the song of the world  (The Mind Quotes) When we read, we are doing more than delectating words on a page stories, characters, images, notions. We are communing with the mind of the author  (The Mind Quotes) Going without food or water will kill the body, but the lack of relationship will kill the mind and spirit  (The Mind Quotes) Peace can reign only where there is no disturbance, and disturbance is due to thoughts that arise in the mind  (The Mind Quotes) Fighting the wounds of the past will only deepen those wounds. Relaxation is the method that heals the wounds of the mind, not reaction  (The Mind Quotes) Food should be consumed while chanting your mantra inwardly. This will purify the food and the mind at the same time  (The Mind Quotes) Until writing was invented, man lived in acoustic space: boundless, directionless, horizonless, in the dark of the mind, in the world of emotion  (The Mind Quotes) The mind is a strange machine which can combine the materials offered to it in the most astonishing ways  (The Mind Quotes) Your cameras can’t control the minds of those who know, that you’ll even sell your soul just to get a story sold  (The Mind Quotes) The injuries we do in kind are visited upon us often. In the science of the mind, trying hard to move a shadow  (The Mind Quotes) Our stories come from our lives and from the playwright’s pen, the mind of the actor, the roles we create, the artistry of life itself and the quest for peace  (The Mind Quotes) Never yet was a nation born that did not begin in the spirit, pass to the heart and the mind, and then take an outer form in the world of men  (The Mind Quotes) The other thing is that if you rely solely on medication to manage depression or anxiety, for example, you have done nothing to train the mind, so that when you come off the medication, you are just as vulnerable to a relapse as though you had never taken the medication  (The Mind Quotes) A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks  (The Mind Quotes) The mind is never satisfied with the objects immediately before it, but is always breaking away from the present moment, and losing itself in schemes of future felicity... The natural flights of the human mind are not from pleasure to pleasure, but from hope to hope  (The Mind Quotes) Man is to himself the most wonderful object in nature; for he cannot conceive what the body is, still less what the mind is, and least of all how a body should be united to a mind. This isthe consummation of his difficulties, and yet it is his very being  (The Mind Quotes) As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives  (The Mind Quotes) I have said that poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquillity: the emotion is contemplated till, by a species of reaction, the tranquillity gradually disappears, and an emotion, kindred to that which was before the subject of contemplation, is gradually produced, and does itself actually exist in the mind  (The Mind Quotes) Yet there are moments when the walls of the mind grow thin; when nothing is unabsorbed, and I could fancy that we might blow so vast a bubble that the sun might set and rise in it and we might take the blue of midday and the black of midnight and be cast off and escape from here and now  (The Mind Quotes) History is the most dangerous product which the chemistry of the mind has concocted. Its properties are well known. It produces dreams and drunkenness. It fills people with false memories, exaggerates their reactions, exacerbates old grievances, torments them in their repose, and encourages either a delirium of grandeur or a delusion of persecution. It makes whole nations bitter, arrogant, insufferable and vainglorious  (The Mind Quotes) The human understanding is moved by those things most which strike and enter the mind simultaneously and suddenly, and so fill the imagination; and then it feigns and supposes all other things to be somehow, though it cannot see how, similar to those few things by which it is surrounded  (The Mind Quotes) Appearances to the mind are of four kinds. Things either are what they appear to be; or they neither are, nor appear to be; or they are, and do not appear to be; or they are not, and yet appear to be. Rightly to aim in all these cases is the wise man’s task  (The Mind Quotes) When you meditate you have to try to quiet and calm the mind. There should be no thought within the mind. Right now you feel that if you can cherish twenty ideas at a time, then you are the wisest man on earth. The more thoughts that enter into our minds, the more clever we feel we are. But in the spiritual life it is not like that. If consciously we can make the mind calm and quiet, we feel that a new creation dawns inside us  (The Mind Quotes) Executions, far from being useful examples to the survivors, have, I am persuaded, a quite contrary effect, by hardening the heart they ought to terrify. Besides, the fear of an ignominious death, I believe, never deterred anyone from the commission of a crime, because in committing it the mind is roused to activity about present circumstances  (The Mind Quotes) It would add much to human happiness, if an art could be taught of forgetting all of which the remembrance is at once useless and afflictive, that the mind might perform its functions without encumbrance, and the past might no longer encroach upon the present  (The Mind Quotes) The flesh believes that pleasure is limitless and that it requires unlimited time; but the mind, understanding the end and limit of the flesh and ridding itself of fears of the future, secures a complete life and has no longer any need for unlimited time  (The Mind Quotes) Our sight is the most perfect and most delightful of all our senses. It fills the mind with the largest variety of ideas, converses with its objects at the greatest distance, and continues the longest in action without being tired or satiated with its proper enjoyments  (The Mind Quotes)
