Member States

Famous quotes containing the words member and/or states:

“It was a maxim with Mr. Brass that the habit of paying compliments kept a man’s tongue oiled without any expense; and that, as that useful member ought never to grow rusty or creak in turning on its hinges in the case of a practitioner of the law, in whom it should be always glib and easy, he lost few opportunities of improving himself by the utterance of handsome speeches and eulogistic expressions”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)

“fundamentally an organism has conscious mental states if and only if there is something that it is like to be that organism—something it is like for the organism.”
