“To plead the organic causation of a religious state of mind, then, in refutation of its claim to possess superior spiritual value, is quite illogical and arbitrary, unless one have already worked out in advance some psycho-physical theory connecting spiritual values in general with determinate sorts of physiological change. Otherwise none of our thoughts and feelings, not even our scientific doctrines, not even our dis -beliefs, could retain any value as revelations of the truth, for every one of them without exception flows from the state of their possessor's body at the time.” MindStatesFeelingsBodySpiritualValuesBeliefReligiousTheoryFlowClaimsDoctrineSuperiorsRevelationsExceptionState Of MindOur ThoughtsConnectingArbitraryPsychoThoughts And FeelingsIllogicalPhysiologicalCausationSpiritual ValuesRefutation Book:The Varieties of Religious Experience Source: The Varieties of Religious Experience
“Art is universal. It unites mankind in common brotherhood. As a missionary of civilization, its message is both to heart and mind. Distinctions of tongue or boundary lines disappear before the power of truths, which, like the rainbow, charm by the beauty of variegated hues, or, combined with light, illuminate the universe. Moreover, art is the connecting link in the chain of great minds. Through its language, thought appeals to thought, and sympathy echoes feeling.” MindHeartArtFeelingsLightUniverseLanguageLinesCommonMankindCivilizationMessagesArt IsUniversalTongueDisappearBoundariesChainsAppealsCharmDistinctionLinksBrotherhoodMissionaryRainbowEchoesHeart And MindConnectingHueGreat Minds Book:Art-hints: Architecture, Sculpture and Painting Source: Art-hints: Architecture, Sculpture and Painting
“Quotes are like prompts. A way of searching, connecting the dots. Other people's thinking has always - both positively and negatively - jumpstarted my thinking. Quotes are also a way of acting out not just a text, and not just thinking, but the making of a text. The construction of thinking. The quotes are part of those constructions and reflections. Thinking through quotes, which to say scouring a range of texts for insight, is one way to outline the process of thinking/feeling through a subject.” PeopleThinkingWayFeelingsProcessActingSubjectsReflectionInsightOne WayRangeConstructionConnectingPositivelyOutlinesDotsPromptsActing OutConnecting The Dots Author:Masha Tupitsyn
“If I've got Writer's Block it generally means that I don't have that much to say or something's not quite connecting. I have had Writer's Block a bunch of times and it's generally because I'm not able to write down what I'm feeling basically. Mostly, I just need to be alone really, or be with someone who can bring that out of me.” IfsNeedsWritingMeanFeelingsAbleBunchBlockConnectingWriter's Block Author:Ellie Goulding
