Famous quotes containing the words taylor and/or hall:

    The souls did from their bodies fly—
    They fled to bliss or woe!
    And every soul, it passed me by,
    Like the whizz of my cross-bow!
    —Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)

    When Western people train the mind, the focus is generally on the left hemisphere of the cortex, which is the portion of the brain that is concerned with words and numbers. We enhance the logical, bounded, linear functions of the mind. In the East, exercises of this sort are for the purpose of getting in tune with the unconscious—to get rid of boundaries, not to create them.
    —Edward T. Hall (b. 1914)
