Greater Attention

Famous quotes containing the words greater and/or attention:

“If we are marked to die, we are enough
To do our country loss; and if to live,
The fewer men, the greater share of honour.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“... the moment we try to fix our attention upon consciousness and to see what, distinctly, it is, it seems to vanish: it seems as if we had before us a mere emptiness. When we try to introspect the sensation of blue, all we can see is the blue; the other element is as if it were diaphanous. Yet it can be distinguished if we look attentively enough, and know that there is something to look for.”
—George Edward Moore (1873–1958)
