Locke

Famous quotes containing the word locke:

“Knowledge being to be had only of visible and certain truth, error is not a fault of our knowledge, but a mistake of our judgment, giving assent to that which is not true.”

“Every drowsy nod shakes their doctrine, who teach, that the soul is always thinking.”
—John Locke (1632–1704)

“If the soul doth think in a sleeping man without being conscious of it, I ask, whether during such thinking it has any pleasure or pain, or be capable of happiness or misery? I am sure the man is not, no more than the bed or earth he lies on. For to be happy or miserable without being conscious of it, seems to me utterly inconsistent and impossible.
”
—John Locke (1632–1704)
