Conscious Experience

Famous quotes containing the words conscious and/or experience:

“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.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

“Experience is not a matter of having actually swum the Hellespont, or danced with the dervishes, or slept in a doss- house. It is a matter of sensibility and intuition, of seeing and hearing the significant things, of paying attention at the right moments, of understanding and co-ordinating. Experience is not what happens to a man; it is what a man does with what happens to him.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
