Orison Swett Marden
“No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.”
Albert Einstein
“Happiness is that state of consciousness which proceeds from the achievement of one's values.”
Ayn Rand
“Consciousness succumbs all too easily to unconscious influences, and these are often truer and wiser than our conscious thinking”
Carl Gustav Jung
“Only when your consciousness is totally focused on the moment you are in can you receive whatever gift, lesson, or delight that moment has to offer.”
Barbara De Angelis
“Tamed as it may be, sexuality remains one of the demonic forces in human consciousness -- pushing us at intervals close to taboo and dangerous desires, which range from the impulse to commit sudden arbitrary violence upon another person to the voluptuous yearning for the extinction of one's consciousness, for death itself. Even on the level of simple physical sensation and mood, making love surely resembles having an epileptic fit at least as much as, if not more than, it does eating a meal or conversing with someone.”
Susan Sontag
“Our consciousness rarely registers the beginning of a growth within us any more than without us; there have been many circulation of the sap before we detect the smallest sign of the bud.”
George Eliot
