Locke Finds

Famous quotes containing the words locke and/or finds:

    If the soul doth think in a sleeping man without being conscious of it, I ask, whether during such thinking it has any pleasure or pain, or be capable of happiness or misery? I am sure the man is not, no more than the bed or earth he lies on. For to be happy or miserable without being conscious of it, seems to me utterly inconsistent and impossible.

    —John Locke (1632–1704)

    As one who strives a hill to climb,
    Who never climbed before:
    Who finds it in a little time,
    Grow every moment less sublime,
    And votes the thing a bore:
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
