“Strain your brain more than your eye… You can copy a thing to a certain limit. Then you must use intellect.”

“Open your eyes, train your ears, use your head. If a mind you have, then use it while you can.”

“Did you know that you use less than 1% of your brain? The good news is that mind mapping can help you to access the other 99%!”

“You see things out of the corner of your mind or the corner of your eye that affect you just as strongly as things that you focus on, if not more so.”

“It's your eyes. They're… more serious than they used to be. Like they've seen things they shouldn't have.”

“You can close your eyes to the things you don't want to see, but you can't close your heart to the things you don't want to feel.”

“You can close your eyes to the things you don't want to see, but you can't close your heart to the things you don't want to feel.”

“If someone asks us which of these is more perfect, intellect or sense, the intelligible or the sensible, we shall promise to answer promptly, if he will first give us an answer to the following question. You know, my inquiring friend, that there is some power in you which has a notion of each of these things—a notion, I say, of intellect itself and of sense, of the intelligible and the sensible. This is evident, for the same power which compares these to each other must at that time in a certain manner see both. Tell me, then, whether a power of this kind belongs to intellect or sense? … Sense, as you yourself have shown, can perceive neither itself nor intellect and the objects of intellect; whereas intellect knows both. … Therefore, intellect is not only more perfect than sense but is also, after perfection itself, in the highest degree perfect.”

“There was always some kind of strain, but it was workable. The bigger you get, the more of a strain it is, because in your everyday life, you're less used to compromising. As you get bigger, you have your own way. But in a partnership you always have to compromise. … When you get into a partnership, you're not the boss. There's no boss. That makes it hard.”

“You can close your eyes if you want. Some things are less scary.”
