Famous quotes containing the words subconscious and/or mind:
“On a subconscious level your child experiences separation from you as a “punishment.” And if he is to be “rewarded” with your return, he must be very good.... Eager for you to come back, your finicky son would probably eat liver if your baby-sitter served it, and he wouldn’t dream of resisting her at bathtime.”
—Cathy Rindner Tempelsman (20th century)
“The mind that’s conscious of its rectitude,
Laughs at the lies of rumor.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
