Every One speaks well of his own heart, but no one dares speak well of of his own mind.

—Francois de La Rochefoucauld
Poetry is not a certain this or a certain that. With or without rhyme. Beat or academic. Uplifting or depressing. Accessible or obscure. Poetry is all. At its heart, simply, a condensed form. Free to violate the strict rules of prose. Free to explore the subterranean passage of mind and soul. We must allow it to be whatever it needs to be. Only then will we realize the vitality of its song.

—Laurence Overmire
A man's mind may be likened to a garden, which may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild; but whether cultivated or neglected, it must, and will, bring forth. If no useful seeds are put into it, then an abundance of useless weed seeds will fall therein, and will continue to produce their kind.

—James Allen (1902)
People mistakenly assume that their thinking is done by their head; it is actually done by the heart which first dictates the conclusion, then commands the head to provide the reasoning that will defend it.

—Anthony de Mello
To listen to the silence is to hear the heartbeat of the Universe.

—Laurence Overmire
Space and time are not conditions in which we live; they are simply modes in which we think.

—Albert Einstein
Ignorance is not bliss, but a state of mind.

— Monk Frost (06/07/2010)
A human being has so many skins inside, covering the depths of the heart. We know so many things, but we don't know ourselves! Why, thirty or forty skins or hides, as thick and hard as an ox's or bear's, cover the soul. Go into your own ground and learn to know yourself there.

—Meister Eckhart
He that can heroically endure adversity will bear prosperity with equal greatness of soul; for the mind that cannot be dejected by the former is not likely to be transported with the latter.

—Fielding
When even one American - who has done nothing wrong -- is forced by fear to shut his mind and close his mouth, then all of Americans are in peril.

—Harry S. Truman
The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.

—Terry Pratchett
Every language is an old-growth forest of the mind, a watershed of thought, an ecosystem of spiritual possibilities.

—Wade Davis
The mind is its own place, and in itself
Can make a Heav'n of Hell, a Hell of Heaven.

—John Milton
The hardest thing to understand is the limits of our minds. We will never be able to imagine certain things just because our brain isn't physically capable of it.

—Dr. Mikael Aunom
Only the poets dare to touch the sadness, the pain, the loss, the grief at the heart of our human condition. In the solace of a word, spoken and sung, is the comfort of shared experience, passed in bread of soul, one to another.

—Laurence Overmire
To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders.

—Lieh Tzu
Some among Bush's trusted White House staff fear what they are seeing and where Bush is taking us. His state of mind hauntingly reminds them of Richard Nixon's Final Days. They fear Bush is becoming Nixonesque . . . or worse. Although Bush lacks Nixon's paranoia, he may entertain even more dangerous notions.

—Mike Hersh
“This view is the same as that, and that view is the same as this. But that view involves both a right and a wrong; this view involves also a right and a wrong. Are there or are there not the two views that and this? They have not found their point of correspondency that is called the pivot of the Tao. As soon as one finds this pivot, he stands in the center of ring of thought where he can correspond without end to the changing views, without end to those affirming and without end to those denying. Therefore I said ‘There is nothing like the proper light of mind’. “

—Chuang Tzu
Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocre minds. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence and fulfills the duty to express the results of his thoughts in clear form.

—Albert Einstein
Be open minded. Not because it makes you a humble person, but because there are so many idiots out there, and if you can't accept that, you'll sooner or later become insane.

—Jafn (2010)
