Conscious

Famous quotes containing the word conscious:

“An entertainment is something which distracts us or diverts us from the routine of daily life. It makes us for the time being forget our cares and worries; it interrupts our conscious thoughts and habits, rests our nerves and minds, though it may incidentally exhaust our bodies. Art, on the other hand, though it may divert us from the normal routine of our existence, causes us in some way or other to become conscious of that existence.”
—Sir Herbert Read (1893–1968)

“A man who has not been in Italy, is always conscious of an inferiority.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

“The mind that’s conscious of its rectitude,
Laughs at the lies of rumor.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
