Mind

The human mind treats a new idea the same way the body treats a strange protein; it rejects it.

(P. B. Medawar)

The most merciful thing in the world . . . is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents.

(H. P. Lovecraft)

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

(Aristotle)

I didn't mind people staring at the long scratches made by the stern thorns of the boor-geresy bush. I was just happy to be on my way again after my time in Erewhon.

Off the Flight Path: Adventures in Erewhon, Tasmania and Kerguelen – Eta Sonnok, 1967

I think I've been going out of my mind for so long that I've stopped minding about it. Except first thing in the morning, that is....

Education's purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open one.

(Malcolm Forbes)

my mind hurts when i think too much. often, i forget to remember.

My veiw of mind is that it is an odd word to be given such differing meanings. As a young girl I was amazed when my granny would say to me, »Now mind you not to spill that juice since if you spill it you will have a stain on your waist and everyone will wonder where your mind could have been.« She was, of course, most worried about the garment that she referred to as my waist since it was hand-made by herself and was made of lovely silk which I very much liked even if I did call it a blouse.

A mind is a kind of semi-transparent bluish-white rectangle with rounded edges. It is also very nearly non-existent.

Do not mind anything that anyone tells you about anyone else. Judge everyone and everything for yourself.

Henry James

I think empty would be the opposite of mind.

i don't mind, do you?

What is a mind? A collection of self aware thoughts, all circling around one another, occaisionally mixed up by an outside source of sentience, causing dust devils and brain storms, humbert humbert and a purple crayon wrapper.
