Diane Ackerman Quotes About Consciousness

Quotes about: Consciousness

• To begin to understand the gorgeous fever that is consciousness, we must try to understand the senses and what they can tell us about the ravishing world we have the privilege to inhabit.

  Diane Ackerman

  Trying, Fever, World

  Diane Ackerman (2011). “A Natural History of the Senses”, p.19, Vintage

• I believe consciousness is brazenly physical, a raucous mirage the brain creates to help us survive.

  Diane Ackerman

  Believe, Brain, Mirages

  Diane Ackerman (2012). “An Alchemy of Mind: The Marvel and Mystery of the Brain”, p.47, Simon and Schuster

• We tend to think of memories as monuments we once forged and may find intact beneath the weedy growth of years. But, in a real sense, memories are tied to and describe the present. Formed in an idiosyncratic way when they happened, they're also true to the moment of recall, including how you feel, all you've experienced, and new values, passions, and vulnerability. One never steps into the same stream of consciousness twice.

  Diane Ackerman

  Memories, Real, Passion

  Diane Ackerman (2004). “An Alchemy of Mind: The Marvel and Mystery of the Brain”, p.78, Simon and Schuster
