Conscious

Famous quotes containing the word conscious:

“One is conscious of no brave and noble earnestness in it, of no generalized passion for intellectual and spiritual adventure, of no organized determination to think things out.

—H.L. (Henry Lewis)

“It is our less conscious thoughts and our less conscious actions which mainly mould our lives and the lives of those who spring from us.”

“... thinking consists in being conscious that one thinks.”
—John Locke (1632–1704)
