― Georges Clemenceau

“The mind commands the body, and obedience is instant; the mind commands itself and meets resistance. The mind tells the hand to move, and all goes so smoothly that it is hard to distinguish the command from its execution. Yet the mind is the mind, and the hand is a body. The mind tells the mind to will; one is the same as the other, and yet it does not do what it is told.”
― Saint Augustin, Confessions: Livre XI

“Whose fingers string the stalactite-
Who counts the Wampum of the night”
― Emily Dickinson, The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson

“Thus, when a superior intellect and a psychopathic temperament coalesce...in the same individual, we have the best possible conditions for the kind of effective genius that gets into the biographical dictionaries. Such men do not remain mere critics and understanders with their intellect. Their ideas posses them, they inflict them, for better or worse, upon their companions or their age.”
― William James, The Varieties of Religious Experience
