Lapham’s Quarterly

Is there no way out of the mind?

“I think, therefore I am” is the statement of an intellectual who underrates toothaches.

The mind is not, I know, a highway but a temple, and its doors should not be carelessly left open.

The human mind is an evolutionary product, just like the human body.

The highest possible stage in moral culture is when we recognize that we ought to control our thoughts.

A mind lively and at ease can do with seeing nothing, and can see nothing that does not answer.

The mind of man is capable of anything.
