Famous quotes containing the word mind:

    We hear eagerly every thought and word quoted from an intellectual man. But in his presence our own mind is roused to activity, and we forget very fast what he says.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)

    His mind of man, a secret makes
    I meet him with a start
    He carries a circumference
    In which I have no part.
    Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
