Famous quotes containing the words subtle and/or mind:
“In their precise tracings-out and subtle causations, the strongest and fieriest emotions of life defy all analytical insight.”

“When we do not know the truth of a thing, it is of advantage that there should exist a common error which determines the mind of man.... For the chief malady of man is restless curiosity about things which he cannot understand; and it is not so bad for him to be in error as to be curious to no purpose.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
