Subtle Mind

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.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    That Calvinistic sense of Innate Depravity and Original Sin, from whose visitations, in some shape or another, no deeply thinking mind is always and wholly free. For, in certain moods, no man can weigh this world, without throwing in something, somehow like Original Sin, to strike the uneven balance.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
