Mind

"A book without words is a mind without thought."

"She would go off in the morning with the punt full of books, and spend long glorious days away in the forest lying on the green springy carpet of whortleberries, reading. She would most diligently work at furnishing her empty mind. She would sternly endeavour to train it not to jump."

"Books are those faithful mirrors that reflect to our mind the minds of sages and heroes."

"There's no better way to inform and expand you mind on a regular basis than to get into the habit of reading good literature."

"The buying of more books than one can read is nothing less than the soul reaching toward infinity..."

"Books are the carriers of civilization. Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill. Without books, the development of civilization would have been impossible. They are engines of change (as the poet said), windows on the world and lighthouses erected in the sea of time. They are companions, teachers, magicians, bankers of the treasures of the mind. Books are humanity in"

"Don't believe everything you are told, if it resonates within you, then listen and act."

"Everything starts from inside of us, then comes outside of us."

"If you do not completely accept yourself, you can not love yourself fully. It would be hard to love anything unconditionally."

"Mind and Soul are one and the same thing."

"Religious faith as a whole induces various health benefits in the general population through complex biological processes."

"Our [Western] science has cut itself off from an adequate understanding of the Subject of Cognizance, of the mind. This is precisely the point where our present way of thinking needs to be amended, perhaps by a bit of blood-transfusion from Eastern thought."

"All knowledge that Science has acquired so far, has been through the concentration of the powers of the mind."

"Scientific understanding of nature, doesn't make a person religious or atheist. I​t makes a person liberated of all labels. Moreover it makes a person kind and understanding."

"The mind is the most powerful sense."

"The scientist is more religious than the poet because his beliefs rests in faith for a reality that is intangible."

"Many people think that the theory of the selfish gene says that “animals try to spread their genes.” That misstates the facts and it misstates the theory. Animals, including most people, know nothing about genetics and care even less. People love their children not because they want to spread their genes (consciously or unconsciously) but because they can’t help it. That love makes them try to keep their children warm, fed, and safe. What is selfish is not the real motives of the person but the metaphorical motives of the genes that built the person. Genes “try” to spread themselves by wiring animals’ brains so the animals love their kin and try to keep warm, fed, and safe."

"Psychology at best tells us how things are, not how they are supposed to be! There is no utopic science."

"Emergent behaviors rely on computational geometry and scale."

"There is a looming chasm between what your brain knows and what your mind is capable of accessing."
