Famous quotes containing the words subconscious and/or mind:
“The subconscious is ceaselessly murmuring, and it is by listening to these murmurs that one hears the truth.”
—Gaston Bachelard (1884–1962)
“He that outlives a wife whom he has long loved, sees himself disjoined from the only mind that has the same hopes, and fears, and interest; from the only companion with whom he has shared much good and evil; and with whom he could set his mind at liberty, to retrace the past or anticipate the future. The continuity of being is lacerated; the settled course of sentiment and action is stopped; and life stands suspended and motionless.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
