Andy Warhol Quotes

Thought is the measure of life.

Mind cannot think without duality. Duality is the way of thinking. In silence, all dualities disappear.

Life in the true sense is perceiving or thinking.

It seems to me that the real problem is the mind itself and not the problem which the mind has created and tries to solve.

The world is chiefly a mental fact. From mind it receives the forms of time and space, the principle of casuality[sic], color, warmth, and beauty. Were there no mind, there would be no world.

The leading edge of reality is mind, and mind is the primary substratum of being.

Time and space are just projections of your consciousness.

That in the soul which is called the mind is, before it thinks, not actually any real thing.

Consciousness is the foundation of all thinking; and thinking is the foundation of all consciousness.

We confuse ourselves with space-time events, when in fact we are the ones who generate these space-time events.

[D]oes the real world have any more substance than visions and hallucinations when we're having them? At any given moment, what's happening in our minds is all and everything that happens.

The physical body is conceived and constructed in consciousness as are time and space. All happens within our self.

Consciousness, rather than being something that we have, is something we participate in.

In Psychology we deal with minds and their processes, and leave out of account as far as possible the objects that we get to know by means of them.

Everything tends to make us believe that there exists a certain point of the mind at which life and death, the real and the imagined, past and future, the communicable and the incommunicable, high and low, cease to be perceived as contradictions.

Where conscious subjectivity is concerned, there is no distinction between the observation and the thing observed.

The mind was dreaming. The world was its dream.

If there were nothing but thought in you, you wouldn't even know you are thinking. You would be like a dreamer who doesn't know he is dreaming. When you know you are dreaming, you are awake within the dream.

This impure world that we presently experience exists only in relation to our impure mind.

'Tell me one last thing,' said Harry. 'Is this real? Or has this been happening inside my head?' Dumbledore beamed at him, and his voice sounded loud and strong in Harry's ears even though the bright mist was descending again, obscuring his figure. 'Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean it is not real?'

The physical universe that you see is all in your mind. When you turn your mind off, or become unconscious, the physical universe, for you, disappears. Then, when you awaken your consciousness, the universe reappears magically. Quite simple really - no thoughts on your part, no physical world. As Walt Whitman succinctly stated: "The whole theory of the universe is directed unerringly to one single individual - namely to You." Without your mind to process it, the universe simply disappears into nothingness.

Life is whatever we conceive it to be.

Sensations are nothing but confused modes of thinking.

The mind has no existence by itself; it is only the glitter of the sun on the surface of the waters.

Our life is a creation of our mind.
