mind [Theme] Page 4

Black Sam scratched his shaggy head, which, although not rich in intelligence, possessed a certain quality necessary for politicians of all stripes and guises, and simply called the ability to determine "where the wind is blowing."

Intelligence like hers is a curse. The more you understand the world, the less you trust it.

... in my opinion, the human brain is originally a small empty attic, which you have to furnish at your own discretion. The fool drags there any piece of wood that comes across on the way, so the knowledge that he really may need is pushed out of there or turns out to be cluttered with so many unnecessary things that it is simply impossible to get it if necessary. Homo sapiens are very selective about what they place in their intellectual attic. He will not fill it with anything but the tools needed to do his job, but he has an extremely rich assortment of them, and he keeps them in perfect order. It is a mistake to believe that this small room has elastic walls and can stretch to any size. Therefore, the moment inevitably comes when, in order to add any new knowledge, one has to throw out of the head some of the previously acquired knowledge.

The satisfaction of the flesh and the satisfaction of the mental faculties have nothing in common.

You are not smart, you are not stupid, you are only you. Only you decide who you are.

As if the invisible hand of the creator pours into the soul of every person stupidity and mind at the same time. And we walk around the world, pushing out the mind and hiding our stupidity.

A stupid person is not terrible, no, a fool who considers himself smart is terrible.

I wake up. I’m tired of stupid juggling with words. There is nothing more exhausting than being present when a person demonstrates his mind. Especially if there is no mind.

If you have simplicity and sincerity, then you will win the sympathy of any audience.

You don't have to be very smart to perform well. The public generally reacts not to the mind of a person, but to the movements of his body and sincerity in words. Therefore, an honest, sincere person always wins against the background of a smart one. Nothing special, just an honest person to listen to more interesting.

The desire to appear smart makes a person funny.

When you do not have your own mind, you have to use someone else's.

Our minds have bent so strongly in favor of logically provable theorems and demonstrable phenomena that we have lost the ability to perceive metaphysical truths.

The intellect is overly reflective, gentlemen.
I want you in two nights, breaking your head, to go to Bologna, so go.
And thinking here is superfluous. And use energy for action
it is necessary, and not on trampling in a swamp of musty "tomorrow", "and suddenly", "and suddenly", "and
maybe"... and it would be okay if these fragments we, people, at least
thought it up! It's not. Who when thought out to the end, undiscluded
to the end of any of these "and suddenly". We only hiccer them like
alcoholics in drunken tears - "and suddenly fell asleep?", "and if in vain", "ah,
most likely and in vain", and we never spin this idea
to the end - well, let me, already fell asleep. Called and fell asleep, I want
go? And I still want to. Even to curl his sleepy eyes
look, but more - I still want to prove to myself that I can. A what
not a sleepy pantoufl, not a rodolph-like one, there is still life in me,
and I can do such strange actions of Lizzie Plague - take and
rush on a call to Bologna.
And as you unfold the thought to the end, there is no doubt.
And there is nothing to suffer from.
