Famous quotes containing the words midnight and/or special:

    The iron tongue of midnight hath told twelve.
    Lovers, to bed; ‘tis almost fairy time.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The line that I am urging as today’s conventional wisdom is not a denial of consciousness. It is often called, with more reason, a repudiation of mind. It is indeed a repudiation of mind as a second substance, over and above body. It can be described less harshly as an identification of mind with some of the faculties, states, and activities of the body. Mental states and events are a special subclass of the states and events of the human or animal body.
    Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
