More on Mind

“Pretend what we may, the whole man within us is at work when we form our philosophical opinions.”
— William James
“Actual knowledge is identical with its object: in the individual, potential knowledge is in time prior to actual knowledge, but in the universe as a whole it is not prior even in time. Mind is not at one time knowing and at another not. When mind is set free from its present conditions it appears as just what it is and nothing more: this alone is immortal and eternal (we do not, however, remember its former activity because, while mind in this sense is impassible, mind as passive is destructible), and without it nothing thinks.”
— Aristotle
“Truth is always present; it only needs to lift the iron lids of the mind's eye to read its oracles.”
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
