There are no limitations to the mind except those we acknowledge.
Philosophy limits the thinkable and therefore the unthinkable.
To tell you the truth, I've never met anybody who can envision more than three dimensions. There are some who claim they can, and maybe they can; it's hard to say.
Just as a man working with his tools should know its limitations, a man working with his cognitive apparatus must know its limitations.
The limits of thought are not so much set from outside, by the fullness or poverty of experiences that meet the mind, as from within, by the power of conception, the wealth of formulative notions with which the mind meets experiences.
Every dream that anyone ever has is theirs alone and they never manage to share it. And they never manage to remember it either. Not truly or accurately. Not as it was. Our memories and our vocabularies aren't up to the job.

Man is an intelligence in servitude to his organs.
Just because I try to read a lot of stuff doesn't mean I can fully conceptualize all of these intense, big, abstract ideas.
Understand well as I may, my comprehension can only be an infinitesimal fraction of all I want to understand.
The boundaries of design are the same as the problem of perception.
There are very deep and restrictive principles that determine the nature of human language and are rooted in the specific character of the human mind
It is consciousness that sets all limits of life, if there are any limits.
