Conscious Experience

Famous quotes containing the words conscious and/or experience:

    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. What is there is a highly self-conscious and insipid correctness, a bloodless respectability submergence of matter in manner—in brief, what is there is the feeble, uninspiring quality of German painting and English music.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    My experience of ships is that on them one makes an interesting discovery about the world. One finds one can do without it completely.
    Malcolm Bradbury (b. 1932)
