Cognitive Processes Quotes

"The ideas so far produced are insufficient for the interpretation of the dream." "Five percent of the people think ten percent of the people think they think and the other eighty-five percent would rather die than think" "Your emotions are the slaves to your thoughts and you are the slave to your emotions " "The emotional mind is far quicker than the rational mind; thoughts simply take longer to form than feelings."

The third is separating them from all other ideas that accompany them in their real existence. This is called abstraction and thus all its general ideas are made."
