“It is a faculty of the human mind to become what it contemplates, and to act in unison with its object.”

“Idleness is the beginning of all psychology. What? Could it be that psychology is ? a vice?”

“Those with very loud voices in their throats are nearly incapable of thinking subtle thoughts.”

“The hero is a mind of such balance that no disturbances can shake his will, but pleasantly, and, as it were, merrily, he advancesto his own music, alike in frightful alarms and in the tipsy mirth of universal dissoluteness.”

“The creative mind plays with the object it loves.”

“Bring the mind into sharp focus and make it alert so that it can immediately intuit truth, which is everywhere. The mind must be emancipated from old habits, prejudices, restrictive thought processes and even ordinary thought itself.”
