Conscious Experience

Famous quotes containing the words conscious and/or experience:

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

“It is always singular, but encouraging, to meet with common sense in very old books, as the Heetopades of Veeshnoo Sarma; a playful wisdom which has eyes behind as well as before, and oversees itself. It asserts their health and independence of the experience of later times. This pledge of sanity cannot be spared in a book, that it sometimes pleasantly reflect upon itself.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
