Thinking

Famous quotes containing the word thinking:

    The afternoon is visibly a source,
    Too wide, too irised, to be more than calm,
    Too much like thinking to be less than thought,
    Obscurest parent, obscurest patriarch,
    A daily majesty of meditation,
    That comes and goes in silences of its own.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “My nerves are bad to-night. Yes, bad. Stay with me.
    Speak to me. Why do you never speak. Speak.
    What are you thinking of? What thinking? What?
    I never know what are thinking. Think.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    Masterpieces are not single and solitary births; they are the outcome of many years of thinking in common, of thinking by the body of the people, so that the experience of the mass is behind the single voice.
    Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
