“The Mind is a multiplicity of individuals.”
― Emmanuel Levinas, Otherwise than Being, or, Beyond Essence

“The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.”
― H.P. Lovecraft

“Conceptual thinking is not by accident that which is communicated to others, any more than the decision to move a chess piece is by accident that which finds an expression in a move on a board between two people.”
― Wilfrid Sellars, Empiricism and the Philosophy of Mind

“The essential point of view advanced here is this: the stability of every
living being, as of every structurally stable form, rests, in the last analysis, on a for-
mal structure—in fact, a geometrical object—whose biochemical realization is the
living being.”
― René Thom, Morphogenèse et imaginaire (Circé)
