One does one's thinking before one knows what one is to think about.

Subjective conscious mind is an analog of what is called the real world. It is built up with a vocabulary or lexical field whose terms are all metaphors or analogs of behavior in the physical world.

Poetry begins as the divine speech of the bicameral mind. Then, as the bicameral mind breaks down, there remain prophets.

Indeed, it is sometimes almost as if the problem had to be forgotten to be solved.

We can only know in the nervous system what we have known in behavior first.

Consciousness is always open to many possibilities because it involves play. It is always an adventure.

The mind is still haunted with its old unconscious ways; it broods on lost authorities; and the yearning, the deep and hollowing yearning for divine volition and service is with us still.

The importance of writing in the breakdown of the bicameral voices is tremendously important. What had to be spoken is now silent and carved upon a stone to be taken in visually.

I shall state my thesis plain. The first poets were gods. Poetry began with the bicameral mind.

There is no such thing as a complete consciousness.

The king dead is a living god.

Communication must be HOT: honest, open, and two-way.

I got a lot of heart. I am going to give it my all every day. I have no excuses. I come prepared every day. I put it in the hard work.

I'm glad I started so young, because you are really able to endure so much at that age.

Even if people tell me they have historical proof [that it is not historical], that doesn't really bother me.

The Wizard of Oz' is my favorite movie. It was the first movie I can ever remember watching.

The tide rises, the tide falls, The twilight darkens, the curlew calls; The little waves, with their soft, white hands, Efface the footprints in the sands, And the tide rises, the tide falls.

So I think if we’d just take our time as women, and do what comes natural to us and for us, we would make fewer mistakes.

When you don't know what to do, wait for your opponent to get an idea; it is sure to be bad.

In a democracy, you won't always get to have your way. But you should always get to have your say.
