Conscious

Famous quotes containing the word conscious:

“We cannot remain long in a conscious state or in consciousness, we must take refuge again in the unconscious since there are our roots.”

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

“... often in the heat of noonday, leaning on a hoe, looking across valleys at the mountains, so blue, so close, my only conscious thought was, “How can I ever get away from here? How can I get to where they have books, where I can be educated?” I worked hard, always waiting for something to happen to change things. There came a time when I knew I must make them happen; that no one would do anything about it for me. And I did.”
—Belinda Jelliffe (1892–1979)
