Mind

"When enter the whole new world, men will deal with new science. To embrace a new science, men need to get used to new wisdom."

"Since 1849 I have studied incessantly, under all its aspects, a question which was already in my mind since 1832. I confess that my scheme is still a mere dream, and I do not shut my eyes to the fact that so long as I alone believe it to be possible, it is virtually impossible. ... The scheme in question is the cutting of a canal through the Isthmus of Suez. This has been thought of from the earliest historical times, and for that very reason is looked upon as impracticable. Geographical dictionaries inform us indeed that the project would have been executed long ago but for insurmountable obstacles. [On his inspiration for the Suez Canal.]"

"The time has come to realise that an interpretation of the universe—even a positivist one—remains unsatisfying unless it covers the interior as well as the exterior of things; mind as well as matter. The true physics is that which will, one day, achieve the inclusion of man in his wholeness in a coherent picture of the world."

"Nothing is so dangerous to the progress of the human mind than to assume that our views of science are ultimate, that there are no mysteries in nature, that our triumphs are complete and that there are no new worlds to conquer."

"The curious mind embraces science; the gifted and sensitive, the arts; the practical, business; the leftover becomes an economist"

"You are a placebo responder. Your body plays tricks on your mind. You cannot be trusted."

"Time passed: the mind rebuilds it's defenses."

"Every decision you make in life will stem from one of two options: love or fear. Choose love."

"Here we go,” Phoenix said, turning back to Nora. “Try not to let this room scare you."

"Eleanor had heard talk of the rebellion that existed inside the city of Constance before. Most of the information she gathered was considered an old fairy tale by the general public. There were a few stories here and there about people angered by their present living conditions, who had demanded that the center of Constance be held responsible for it. However, information was never passed between the five different sectors. Over the years the tales of the rebellion had become children’s bedtime stories, and people did not take them seriously."

"As her feet beat the concrete ground beneath them, her chest began to ache. It had been a long time since she had run at a full sprint. She was, quite literally, running for her life, and leaving everything she had known before behind. Regardless of her past experiences, here she was, blindly following a girl, who was virtually a stranger, because she had promised to lead Eleanor to safety."

"Try to think of it as though we are rewriting history––the first time this experience occurred you and I never kissed in this Dream Machine room. But now when we leave here, and open our eyes again near the wall around the center of Constance, that kiss will be included in our memories of the day we first met. We could spend a lifetime recreating this moment here, meanwhile, not a single second of our lives would slip by back in our reality. Time seems to move differently inside of our memories."

"Cherish your existence, for memories become legacies and life can change in an instant."

"To struggle against the weight of sleep as reality eclipses the moon of your dreams is the purest sign of true love."

"Eternity will not cause our memories to fade, it will force our hearts to accept the past."

"My dream is to create something so beautiful that it encourages people to present the best version of themselves to me everywhere I go."

"To completely understand me you must first accept that I am not you."

"If you feel like you don't fit into the world you inherited it is because you were born to help create a new one."

"Our goals and objectives are supposed to be well planned out in our minds."

"Our mind is supposed to be a well-planned system."
