Conscious

Famous quotes containing the word conscious:

“With each divine impulse the mind rends the thin rinds of the visible and finite, and comes out into eternity, and inspires and expires its air. It converses with truths that have always been spoken in the world, and becomes conscious of a closer sympathy with Zeno and Arrian, than with persons in the house.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“The bad poet is usually unconscious where he ought to be conscious, and conscious where he ought to be unconscious.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

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