In short, we can only learn from our "betters". ~ Mortimer J. Adler
Mind Reading quotes by Mortimer J. Adler
Never mind reading between the lines, try reading what's on them first. ~ Teri Louise Kelly
Mind Reading quotes by Teri Louise Kelly
We read each other through our eyes, and anatomically they are an extension of our brains. When we catch someone's eye, we look into a mind. ~ Siri Hustvedt
Mind Reading quotes by Siri Hustvedt
I think that people who don't mind reading find the immersion and their ability to get into a deeper place with the story to be satisfying. That's the kind of reader I want. ~ Rick Remender
Mind Reading quotes by Rick Remender
We find little in a book but what we put there. But in great books, the mind finds room to put many things. ~ Joseph Joubert
Mind Reading quotes by Joseph Joubert
She would go off in the morning with the punt full of books, and spend long glorious days away in the forest lying on the green springy carpet of whortleberries, reading. She would most diligently work at furnishing her empty mind. She would sternly endeavour to train it not to jump. ~ Elizabeth Von Arnim
Mind Reading quotes by Elizabeth Von Arnim
You see, his mother has thrown me out of the house because I was unfaithful to her. Or rather the faith I had wasn't the right kind. Given the absence of mind-reading technology, humans believe monogamy is possible. ~ Matt Haig
Mind Reading quotes by Matt Haig
What are you doing?" she asked, even as she parted her thighs.
"You're a smart woman. You figure it out."
He kissed his way up to her knee, then moved between her legs and nibbled higher. Up and up and up until he pressed an openmouthed kiss just at that hollow by her hip.
"That's not right," he teased, even as he licked her tummy. "I was looking for something else."
Anticipation had reached such a fevered pitch that Phoebe wasn't sure she could talk--even to give directions. She could only send loud telepathic messages instructing Zane on the right place to press that tongue of his. Fortunately, the man was pretty darned good at mind reading.
He slipped from her tummy to the promised land in three seconds flat. This time, she didn't have warning, but that was okay. She didn't mind the surprise of his gentle caress pleasuring the most intimate parts of her.
She parted her legs even more and raised her hips in a silent invitation. He moved slowly, discovering, tasting, whispering how good this all was for him.
She wanted to tell him he should try it from her perspective, but she couldn't form words. ~ Susan Mallery
Mind Reading quotes by Susan   Mallery
Before we go, I gotta know: If mind-reading abilities are real, there's something else I wondered if fiction got right about vampires-"
"Ask me if I sparkle and I'll kill you where you stand," Bones cut him off with utmost seriousness. ~ Jeaniene Frost
Mind Reading quotes by Jeaniene Frost
Today a pitcher gets fined if the umpire thinks he threw at a batter. In the olden days, the umpire didn't have to take any courses in mind reading. The pitcher told you he was going to throw at you. ~ Leo Durocher
Mind Reading quotes by Leo Durocher
What? Why? "What? Why?" Zoelner asked. Mac glared at the mind-reading man. "Who are you?" he demanded. "Carnac the Magnificent or somethin'? ~ Julie Ann Walker
Mind Reading quotes by Julie Ann Walker
We all act as independent learners in charge of designing our autodidactic curricula. Reading the books written by the prophetic genius of history including the literary masterpieces and philosophical treatises awakens the mind. Reading can act as a gateway drug leading to writing and expansion of a personal state of conscious awareness. ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Mind Reading quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
This consists in not taking a book into one's hand merely because it is interesting the great public at the time - such as political or religious pamphlets, novels, poetry, and the like, which make a noise and reach perhaps several editions in their first and last years of existence. Remember rather that the man who writes for fools always finds a large public: and only read for a limited and definite time exclusively the works of great minds, those who surpass other men of all times and countries, and whom the voice of fame points to as such. These alone really educate and instruct.

One can never read too little of bad, or too much of good books: bad books are intellectual poison; they destroy the mind ~ Arthur Schopenhauer
Mind Reading quotes by Arthur Schopenhauer
Do they sense it, these dead writers, when their books are read? Does a pinprick of light appear in their darkness? Is their soul stirred by the feather touch of another mind reading theirs? I do hope so. ~ Diane Setterfield
Mind Reading quotes by Diane Setterfield
No one waits to trap him in a lie. He is told what lies he is getting ready to tell. ~ Alcoholics Anonymous
Mind Reading quotes by Alcoholics Anonymous
A night that began with mind-reading a grateful crustacean and ended with drunken elves would be a night to remember. ~ Karen Joy Fowler
Mind Reading quotes by Karen Joy Fowler
Where do you get your ideas?' people are always asking authors they admire, which I've always thought was another way of asking, 'How did you get my ideas, which I didn't know I had until you put words to them?' We are known, appreciated, even cherished by our favorite writers; every word of our favorite books seems to have been written for us. Within their sentences and paragraphs, those writers are forever available, forever patient, including us in their compassionate recognition of the impossible, exhausting complexity of being human (those "many thousand" selves), never ignoring us or abandoning us or finding us dull. It's you, they whisper, as we turn their pages, you are the one I've been waiting to tell everything to. ~ Suzanne Berne
Mind Reading quotes by Suzanne Berne
One of the survival mechanisms of children raised in alcoholic families is an awareness of parental needs and feelings and of changes in parental moods and behavior. The Adult Child often makes a full-time occupation of mind reading with partners, friends, employers, and therapists. As a consequence, they earn a Ph.D. at the age of six in observing the behavior of others and assessing parental needs - but are in elementary school at age thirty, trying to learn to assess, label, or communicate their own needs and feelings. ~ Jane Middelton-Moz
Mind Reading quotes by Jane Middelton-Moz
If you've been working on your thinking errors for only a few months so far, then you're probably still at the stage where you mostly notice the errors after the fact. Going forward, you'll find some situations in which you're able to spot a thinking error at or close to the time it occurs. For example, you might notice yourself feeling upset about something that has happened during the day and later that evening realize you've been mind reading: guessing what someone else thinks without knowing if it's actually the case.
Expect to have a mixture of these situations and those when you notice your thinking error only after you've been walking around buying into that sucker for months or even years. You might get some new information or evidence and only then realize you've been holding on to a distorted thought. ~ Alice Boyes
Mind Reading quotes by Alice Boyes
People can't hear what you don't say. Thinking isn't communicating. ~ Frank Sonnenberg
Mind Reading quotes by Frank Sonnenberg
Difficult times are sharpeners for the mind ~ Ela Crain
Mind Reading quotes by Ela Crain
For some of the things that plagued the seventeenth-century New Englander we have modern-day explanations. For others we do not. We have believed in any number of things - the tooth fairy, cold fusion, the benefits of smoking, the free lunch - that turn out not to exist. We all subscribe to preposterous beliefs; we just don't know yet which ones they are. We too have been known to prefer plot to truth; to deny the evidence before us in favor of the ideas behind us; to do insane things in the name of reason; to take that satisfying step from the righteous to the self-righteous; to drown our private guilts in a public well; to indulge in a little delusion. We have all believed that someone had nothing better to do than spend his day plotting against us. The seventeenth-century world appeared full of inexplicables, not unlike the automated, mind-reading, algorithmically enhanced modern one. ~ Stacy Schiff
Mind Reading quotes by Stacy Schiff
It's better than sex. Reading delivers on the promise that sex raises but hardly ever can fulfill -- getting larger cause you're entering another person's language, cadence, heart and mind. ~ Chris Kraus
Mind Reading quotes by Chris Kraus
You know, in addition to your mind-reading abilities, I may have absorbed some sluttiness from your blood, ~ Jeaniene Frost
Mind Reading quotes by Jeaniene Frost
There's no better way to inform and expand you mind on a regular basis than to get into the habit of reading good literature. ~ Stephen R. Covey
Mind Reading quotes by Stephen R. Covey
Reading is perception as translation. The inert signs of an alphabet become living meanings in the mind. ~ Siri Hustvedt
Mind Reading quotes by Siri Hustvedt
Even as he said my most private thoughts, even as I burned with outrage and shame, I trembled at the grip still on my mind. Rhysand turned to the High Lord. "I'm curious: Why did she wonder if it would feel good to have you bite her breast the way you bit her neck?"
"Let. Her. Go." Tamlin's face was twisted with such feral rage that it struck a different, deeper chord of terror in me. ~ Sarah J. Maas
Mind Reading quotes by Sarah J. Maas
Stop assuming people can read your mind. Communicate yourself. ~ Akiroq Brost
Mind Reading quotes by Akiroq Brost
It was hard to fool someone who could tell what you were thinking. ~ Rachel Hartman
Mind Reading quotes by Rachel Hartman
He has all the uncanny intuitions of a psychopath. Have you ever dealt with one? It's almost like a form of mind-reading ... ~ Sue Grafton
Mind Reading quotes by Sue Grafton
I don't do the mob mind-reading trick, so I do not speak to motivation. But I do keep my eyes open and watch what happens. It is called reporting. ~ Colin Flaherty
Mind Reading quotes by Colin Flaherty
What I eat turns into my body. What I read turns into my mind. ~ Mason Cooley
Mind Reading quotes by Mason Cooley
She can be a riddle, wrapped in an enigma, inside a conundrum, rolled in a frito burrito. In other words, a total freaking mystery to anyone who isn't gifted with mind-reading abilities. ~ Michael Makai
Mind Reading quotes by Michael Makai
At the end of the day, some authors will endure and most, including some very good ones, will not. Why do I think reading is important? It is such an effective medium between mind and mind. We think largely in words. A medium made only of words doesn't impose the barrier of any other medium. It is naked and unprotected communication. That's how you get pregnant. May you always be so. ~ Roger Ebert
Mind Reading quotes by Roger Ebert
Wow ... At least I can rest assured that you definitely can't read my mind," I remarked. "Clearly you know nothing about me ... because the surest way to keep me from doing something is to tell me I have no other choice. ~ M.A. George
Mind Reading quotes by M.A. George
Charley is a mind-reading dog. There have been many trips in his lifetime, and often he has to be left at home. He knows we are going long before the suitcase has come out, and he paces and worries and whines and goes into a state of mild hysteria. ~ John Steinbeck
Mind Reading quotes by John Steinbeck
Reading renews the mind. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Mind Reading quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
Danny spent most of his time at the museum or in his room with the door locked, lost in books he consumed like a flame eating air, trying to stay alight. ~ Leigh Bardugo
Mind Reading quotes by Leigh Bardugo
Your mother can't hear you here."
"Distance is no match for my mother's eavesdropping and mind-reading skills."

"I had steel anti-mind-reading plates installed this week. Specially designed to be Marilyn-proof. Also sounds an alarm if she gets within two hundred yards of the building, and I sent the guards downstairs to ninja training. You're safe. ~ Jamie Farrell
Mind Reading quotes by Jamie Farrell
Tact is after all a kind of mind-reading. ~ Sarah Orne Jewett
Mind Reading quotes by Sarah Orne Jewett
Negative interpretations are a good example of mind reading. Mind reading occurs when you assume you know what your partner is thinking or why he or she did something. When you mind-read positively, it does not tend to cause any harm. But when your mind reading includes negative judgments about the thoughts and motives of the other, you may be heading toward real trouble in your marriage. ~ Howard J. Markman
Mind Reading quotes by Howard J. Markman
Oh, come on now, she said mildly, as a car suddenly pulled into the lane in front of her. She lifted her hand to toot the horn and then didn't bother. Note how I didn't scream and yell like a mad person, she thought for the benefit of that afternoon's psychotic truck driver, just in case he happened to have stopped by to read her mind. ~ Liane Moriarty
Mind Reading quotes by Liane Moriarty
When the old fears, hates, and worries that have haunted you for so long try to edge back in, they will in effect find a sign on the door of your mind reading occupied. ~ Norman Vincent Peale
Mind Reading quotes by Norman Vincent Peale
Books are those faithful mirrors that reflect to our mind the minds of sages and heroes. ~ Edward Gibbon
Mind Reading quotes by Edward Gibbon
My stomach is rather content, now that I think about it. 'Tis my mind that is starving. ~ Hannah Ashworth
Mind Reading quotes by Hannah Ashworth
Reading is a choice. The will to do depends the reader. We may or may not do it but when we kill reading, we kill a purposeful mind. Reading a page of a purposeful book per day is not only a great medicine to the mind but also a powerful antidote to ignorance and mediocrity ~ Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
Mind Reading quotes by Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
The process of reading is reciprocal; the book is no more than a formula, to be furnished out with images out of the reader's mind. ~ Elizabeth Bowen
Mind Reading quotes by Elizabeth Bowen
Reading was very important; the proper exercise and development of one's mind was a paramount duty. ~ Elizabeth Von Arnim
Mind Reading quotes by Elizabeth Von Arnim
If a psychologist could do mind-reading, he would not need the answers he actually never needed. ~ Robin Sacredfire
Mind Reading quotes by Robin Sacredfire
As long as reading is for us the instigator whose magic keys have opened the door to those dwelling-places deep within us that we would not have known how to enter, its role in our lives is salutary. It becomes dangerous, on the other hand, when, instead of awakening us to the personal life of the mind, reading tends to take its place, when the truth no longer appears to us as an ideal which we can realize only by the intimate progress of our own thought and the efforts of our heart, but as something material, deposited between the leaves of books like a honey fully prepared by others and which we need only take the trouble to reach down from the shelves of libraries and then sample passively in a perfect repose of mind and body. ~ Marcel Proust
Mind Reading quotes by Marcel Proust
You're spooky," he said, "You knew what I was thinking."
"That not spooky," she said, "That's married. ~ Dean Koontz
Mind Reading quotes by Dean Koontz
The man who reads everything is like the man who eats everything: he can digest nothing, and the penalty of crowding one's mind with other men's thoughts is to have no thoughts of one's own. ~ Woodrow Wilson
Mind Reading quotes by Woodrow Wilson
you get a good story about three times a year. It comes in the shower on a day you have time. Couple hours to crank out, couple more to edit and there you have it. But you aren't responsible. It's from some antenna you put out and it happens to pick up a signal. Ideas sit for years before the way to crack them hits you. You can't force it. All you can do is try not to fuck it up. Stay out of its way. Don't slack off and erase your mind reading about rape on Twitter. ~ Delicious Tacos
Mind Reading quotes by Delicious Tacos
Was a fast easy reading, Good to take your mind off of anything serious for a while ~ Janet Evanovich
Mind Reading quotes by Janet Evanovich
But what began in 1941 was a process of destruction not planned in advance, not organized centrally by any agency. There was no blueprint and there was no budget for destructive measures. They were taken step by step, one step at a time. Thus came about not so much a plan being carried out, but an incredible meeting of minds, a consensus - mind reading by a far-flung bureaucracy. ~ Raul Hilberg
Mind Reading quotes by Raul Hilberg
Become Aware of Memory Bias

When people are anxious, they often have biased recall for events. For example, Brian talks himself into believing he screwed up an interview for a promotion because he thinks over and over about things he could've said. However, he doesn't as easily recall the good answers he gave. He endlessly mentally rehashes ambiguous cues the interviewers gave off, such as appearing to rush through questions, but doesn't as easily recall when the interviewers responded positively.
Another example: A friend of mine used to talk herself into believing she'd failed every exam she ever took. She'd ruminate over all the answers she hadn't known and wouldn't recall questions she'd been able to answer correctly. The take-home message when you're ruminating: Don't trust your memory. You might be ruminating about something fictional or at least magnified. This also applies to ruminating about how you think others perceive you; you may just be mind reading based on a biased memory of interactions.
Experiment: Do you have any current rumination topics where memory bias might be playing a role? If you can't think of anything now, come back to this experiment when you have an issue that fits. Answer the following questions:

1. What's your ruminating mind telling you?
2. What are the objective data telling you about whether your ruminative thoughts are likely to be correct? For example, my friend who always convinced herself she'd fail ~ Alice Boyes
Mind Reading quotes by Alice Boyes
Whenever I read _Time_ or _Newsweek_ or such magazines, I wash my hands afterward. But how to wash off the small but odious stain such reading leaves on the mind? ~ Edward Abbey
Mind Reading quotes by Edward Abbey
Reading musses up my mind. ~ Henry Ford
Mind Reading quotes by Henry Ford
Look- here's a table covered with red cloth. On it is a cage the size of a small fish aquarium. In the cage is a white rabbit with a pink nose and pink-rimmed eyes. [ ... ] On its back, clearly marked in blue ink, is the numeral 8. [ ... ] The most interesting thing here isn't even the carrot-munching rabbit in the cage, but the number on its back. Not a six, not a four, not nineteen-point-five. It's an eight. This is what we're looking at, and we all see it. I didn't tell you. You didn't ask me. I never opened my mouth and you never opened yours. We're not even in the same year together, let alone the same room ... except we are together. We are close. We're having a meeting of the minds. [ ... ] We've engaged in an act of telepathy. No mythy-mountain shit; real telepathy. ~ Stephen King
Mind Reading quotes by Stephen King
The mind is a powerful force. It can enslave us or empower us. It can plunge us into the depths of misery or take us to the heights of ecstasy. Learn to use the power wisely. ~ David Cuschieri
Mind Reading quotes by David Cuschieri
And what enriched me while reading Adorno, for example, lay not in what I read but in the perception of myself while I was reading. I was someone who read Adorno! And in this heavy, intricate, detailed, precise language whose aim was to elevate thought ever higher, and where every period was set like a mountaineer's cleat, there was something else, this particular approach to the mood of reality, the shadow of these sentences that could evoke in me a vague desire to use the language with this particular mood on something real, on something living. Not on an argument, but on a lynx, for example, or on a blackbird or a cement mixer. ~ Karl Ove Knausgaard
Mind Reading quotes by Karl Ove Knausgaard
a body betrayed
a heart destroyed
a mind in confusion
and yet a woman
is capable of taking pain
and transforming it into triumph ~ R H Sin
Mind Reading quotes by R H Sin
It might be a move in six months. But I'll make up my mind. I'll have a look at where I've been and where I want to go and I'll continue in that way. ~ Duncan Fletcher
Mind Reading quotes by Duncan Fletcher
Meditation is the activity of calling to mind, and thinking over, and dwelling on, and applying to oneself, the various things that one knows about the works and ways and purposes and promises of God. It is an activity of holy thought, consciously performed in the presence of God, under the eye of God, by the help of God, as a means of communion with God. ~ J.I. Packer
Mind Reading quotes by J.I. Packer
If you grow up in a household where there are books, where you are read to, where parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, and cousins read for their own pleasure, naturally you learn to read. If no one close to you takes joy in reading, where is the evidence that it's worth the effort? ~ Carl Sagan
Mind Reading quotes by Carl Sagan
Whenever the mind tries to ascend into realms of new and sublime abstraction, matter persists and confines it in the cellar of habit. ~ Juan Filloy
Mind Reading quotes by Juan Filloy
Not being able to fully understand God is frustrating but it is ridiculous for us to think we have the right to limit God to something we are capable of comprehending. What a stunted, insignificant god that would be! If my mind is the size of a soda can and God is the size of all the oceans, it would be stupid for me to say He is only the small amount of water I can scoop into my little can. God is so much bigger, so far beyond our time-encased, air/food/sleep-dependent lives. ~ Francis Chan
Mind Reading quotes by Francis Chan
But what's "potential"? That's also in someone's mind! ... Ghosts. ~ Robert M. Pirsig
Mind Reading quotes by Robert M. Pirsig
We could all take heart. These are the wise ones who sit in front of us, to whom we prostrate when we do prostrations. We can prostrate to them as an example of our own wisdom mind of enlightened beings, but perhaps it's also good to prostrate to them as confused, mixed-up people with a lot of neurosis, just like ourselves. They are good examples of people who never gave up on themselves and were not afraid to be themselves, who therefore found their own genuine quality and their own true nature. The point is that our true nature is not some ideal that we have to live up to. It's who we are right now, and that's what we can make friends with and celebrate. ~ Pema Chodron
Mind Reading quotes by Pema Chodron
You can try and stop boys all you want, but in this world they all have a mind of their own and act on it. We girls can't afford that. ~ Kyle Labe
Mind Reading quotes by Kyle Labe
We see Him among the thousands of Galilee, anointed of God with the Holy Ghost and power, going about doing good: with no pride of birth, though He was a king; with no pride of intellect, though omniscience dwelt within Him; with no pride of power, though all power in heaven and earth was in His hands; or of station, though the fullness of the Godhead dwelt in Him bodily; or of superior goodness or holiness: but in lowliness of mind esteeming every one better than Himself, healing the sick, casting out devils, feeding the hungry, and everywhere breaking to men the bread of life. We see Him everywhere offering to men His life for the salvation of their souls: and when, at last, the forces of evil gathered thick around Him, walking, alike without display and without dismay, the path of suffering appointed for Him, and giving His life at Calvary that through His death the world might live.1 ~ John F. MacArthur Jr.
Mind Reading quotes by John F. MacArthur Jr.
The moon changes each night but she does so in an understandable rhythm. And just as the tides ebb and flow and the moon waxes and wanes, our bodies' hormones ebb and flow and our energies wax and wane. Our bodies are more like the rivers than like the rocks, more like the oceans than like machines. The more we can respect the cycles and changes and needs of our bodies, the more we can move with the flow of our lives.
In other words, swear by the moon. Or, trust your body. ~ Golda Poretsky
Mind Reading quotes by Golda Poretsky
When does one become free from all tubers (of the mind)? When one becomes free of kashayas (anger-pride-deceit-greed). Kashays (anger-pride-deceit-greed) are tubers themselves. ~ Dada Bhagwan
Mind Reading quotes by Dada Bhagwan
What a sense of security in an old book which time has criticized for us. ~ James Russell Lowell
Mind Reading quotes by James Russell Lowell
I have been so electrically occupied of late that I feel as if hungry for a little chemistry: but then the conviction crosses my mind that these things hang together under one law & that the more haste we make onwards each in his own path the sooner we shall arrive, and meet each other, at that state of knowledge of natural causes from which all varieties of effects may be understood & enjoyed. ~ Michael Faraday
Mind Reading quotes by Michael Faraday
Love isn't something we can understand because it's not able to be grasped by the mind. Love is not in the mind's or the ego's domain. It's a quality of Essence - of who we really are - and that is too mysterious for the mind to be able to contemplate. And the mind doesn't want to. Yet love is where fulfillment lies and why relationships are so important to us. ~ Gina Lake
Mind Reading quotes by Gina Lake
It's always flattering when somebody you really respect and like wants you to be involved in their project - let alone writes a part with your voice in mind. ~ Chris Messina
Mind Reading quotes by Chris Messina
There are thousands of kids like us, working across the country to make a sweet for rich kids in other places. Thousands. It's a number that matters to me so much that I can't wrap my mind around it. ~ Tara Sullivan
Mind Reading quotes by Tara Sullivan
Listen, don't forget this. Don't let this slip your mind. Most of us, if we're lucky, we see a few seconds of the high life. And the rest are the residue years. ~ Mitchell S. Jackson
Mind Reading quotes by Mitchell S. Jackson
In life we meet many people. some people remain in touch and some contacts are dumped in recycle bin of mind. we expect somethings from people in our life but sometimes those expectations remain unnoticed and incomplete. getting depressed in such condition is natural but if we try we can minimize this amount off hearty hurt. ~ Auliq Ice
Mind Reading quotes by Auliq Ice
In general, I don't like game mechanics, I mean it's the idea you do the same things through different levels. I think, in my mind, it's an ideas I don't really like because I love to do different things and like to see the story moving on and I like to do different things and different scenes, not do the same thing over and over again. If it involves violence at some point fine, if it makes sense in the context. But violence for the sake of violence, it doesn't mean anything to me anymore. ~ David Cage
Mind Reading quotes by David Cage
A look into the Human Mind..of how we perceive..How can we see beauty in and around us..Not the correction of evil or pursuit of the virtuous..BUT..pleasure that resides in the Sense of Self !! A Self living in a state of 'nothingness' and beauty as it lies there..from that place! Simple and Deft ~ Abha Maryada Banerjee
Mind Reading quotes by Abha Maryada Banerjee
Death in my mind isn't a finality. There's a continuum: It's like at night, you go to sleep and in the daytime you wake up, or whenever you wake up, and it's a new day. ~ David Lynch
Mind Reading quotes by David Lynch
Sorry I kept you waiting so
long."
His smile brought one to her face.
"I don't mind. I'd wait an eternity
for you. ~ Roxanne Kade
Mind Reading quotes by Roxanne Kade
I was a Shakespearean actor, I had preconceived ideas, line readings - everything was a gesture, everything was conscious. ~ Dennis Hopper
Mind Reading quotes by Dennis Hopper
Books turn out to be pretty durable if they're kept away from damp and rats. They can last hundreds of years, easy. Reading is another way we survive. It helps to know where we came from, how we got here. And most of all, for me, even thought these low and empty islands are all I have ever known, when I open the front cover of a new book, it's like a door, and I can travel far away in place and time. ~ C.A. Fletcher
Mind Reading quotes by C.A. Fletcher
Mrs. Heath wanted to sprinkle their minds with grass seed and watch the blades spike up through the earth, flat and predictable as a golf course. She wanted dependable students, well fed but not necessarily nourished. But he was not in that category. Admittedly, he could not count on his perceptions of letters and words, and he was not always accurate. He misused words most when he liked their sound. A sentence had a kind of music, and the word sounded right. The definitions were never as interesting as the sound they made coming out of your mouth. He rolled their flavors around on his tongue, tasting every nook and cranny, but he could not be trusted to deliver the right answer and she would never give him better than a C, no matter what genius work he produced. The way he saw it, his mind was a big unruly field of wildflowers. One day he would shower the world with blossoms. ~ Elizabeth Brundage
Mind Reading quotes by Elizabeth Brundage
I am Allison Ann Wendell, daughter of Tomas and Marisha Wendell. I am the Wife of Maiha Mana Nakatoma Head of House Nakatoma, and First High Lady of the Death Dealers. By these blades in my hands I accept my Transformation. I must not fear Transformation. Fear of Transformation is the mind-killer. Fear of the Transformation is the little-death that brings stagnation. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain, the Wife of Death. ~ Jessie Wolf
Mind Reading quotes by Jessie Wolf
Have you ever had a lyric from a really crappy song or advertising jingle get stuck in your head? Something that just won't go away, no matter how much you don't want it to be there?

Imagine if, instead of a silly piece of music, it was an image. Imagine that image was something you found disturbing; say, rivers of rich burgundy blood gushing from slashes in your forearms.

What if, instead of this being a fleeting, irritating image, it took hold in your mind. It would be there on waking, it would push itself into your thoughts while you were watching television, driving, sitting at your desk. What if, gradually, your mind became your own personal continuously screening horror movie, starring yourself.

What would you do? Would you feel compelled to act on these thoughts? Do you think, if you did, it would help? Would you think yourself mad?

Would you tell anyone? ~ Victoria Leatham
Mind Reading quotes by Victoria Leatham
It is my opinion that a story worth reading only in childhood is not worth reading even then. ~ C.S. Lewis
Mind Reading quotes by C.S. Lewis
