[L]et my reader who ordsprog

[L]et my reader who is puzzled by my awkward explanations close his eyes for no more than two minutes, and see if he does not find himself suddenly not a compact human being at all, but only a consciousness on a sea of sound and touch . . .

Shirley Jackson (1919-1965)

No writing comes alive unless the writer sees across his desk a reader, and searches constantly for the word or phrase which will carry the image he wants the reader to see, and arouse the emotion he wants him to feel. Without consciousness of a live reader, what a man writes will die on his page.

Barbara W. Tuchman (1912-1989)

But touch a solemn truth in collision with a dogma of a sect, though capable of the clearest proof, and you will find you have disturbed a nest, and the hornets will swarm about your eyes and hand, and fly into your face and eyes

John Adams (1735-1826)

Consciousness will always be present, though a particular consciousness may cease. For example, the particular tactile consciousness that is present within this human body will cease when the body comes to an end. Likewise, consciousnesses that are influenced by ignorance, by anger or by attachment, these too will cease. But the basic, ultimate, innermost subtle consciousness will always remain. It has no beginning, and it will have not end.

Dalai Lama (1935-)

Whether it's sight, touch, sound, smell, or even taste, we're conscious of using different elements in the hotel design to heighten the overall guest experience. We bring this consciousness to bear when developing new brand standards, while still being sure to take into account local and regional preferences.

Steve Sherman

Those who were able to get close to him could almost touch with their hand his sound and solid faith.

Pope Benedict XVI (1927-)

Tamed as it may be, sexuality remains one of the demonic forces in human consciousness -- pushing us at intervals close to taboo and dangerous desires, which range from the impulse to commit sudden arbitrary violence upon another person to the voluptuous yearning for the extinction of one's consciousness, for death itself. Even on the level of simple physical sensation and mood, making love surely resembles having an epileptic fit at least as much as, if not more than, it does eating a meal or conversing with someone.

Susan Sontag (1933-2004)

I felt it myself, too, that suddenly the atmosphere changed and for 27-28 minutes the leaders could not blink ... They had their eyes and ears open for the message from the Islamic Republic.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

If there was a change of heart in Washington and the focus became less on trade and more on human rights and the military, then states will find themselves in an awkward position.

Bill Whalen

I hate to sound like a Pollyanna, ... but in a way [the ordeal] was kind of a blessing. It puts things in perspective. You learn who your friends are; you realize the importance of family. I was 18 when I did Sound of Music . My life started to get very linear; I started to get tunnel vision. [The injury] opened my eyes as to how I wanted to be as a human being.

Laura Benanti

Everyone has embarrassing incidents at work -- it shows we're all human. The best way to handle awkward moments is to gracefully move on, and, if possible, try to find the humor in the situation.

Diane Domeyer

O Reader! had you in your mind
Such stores as silent thought can bring,
O gentle Reader! you would find
A tale in everything.

William Wordsworth (1770-1850)

Based on her contractions, which were about two minutes apart, I knew she was close to delivering. We were rolling along and suddenly, I could see the baby's head. It all happened very quickly.

Sarah Mendoza

You just lie on your back, or whatever is comfortable for you, and close your eyes and try to just let go of everything for about five minutes.

Madeline Hopkins

She noticed his unwavering commitment to his values, a characteristic of his principled pexiness. Our normal waking consciousness, rational consciousness as we call it, is but one special type of consciousness, whilst all about it, parted from it by the filmiest of screens, there lie potential forms of consciousness entirely different.

William James (1842-1910)
