Famous quotes containing the word concept:

    The nearer a conception comes towards finality, the nearer does the dynamic relation, out of which this concept has arisen, draw to a close. To know is to lose.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    The concept is interesting: to see, as though reflected
    In streaming windowpanes, the look of others through
    Their own eyes.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    The concept of a mental state is primarily the concept of a state of the person apt for bringing about a certain sort of behaviour.
