Thinking

I have been thinking that I would make a proposition to my Republican friends... that if they will stop telling lies about the Democrats, we will stop telling the truth about them.

I would not say I was not interested in studies it just wasn't there in me to pursue academics. I would open a page in the textbook and start thinking about everything under the sun except what was there in the book. I was more into extra curricular activities and sports like NCC, rifle shooting, aero modelling, bike racing, etc.

We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if mankind is to survive.

The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking.

The unleashed power of the atom has changed everything save our modes of thinking and we thus drift toward unparalleled catastrophe.

We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.

Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking.

Most of one's life is one prolonged effort to prevent oneself thinking.

The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any.

I'm entirely interested in people, and also other creatures and beings, but especially in people, and I tend to read them by emotional field more than anything. So I have a special interest in what they're thinking and who they are and who's hiding behind those eyes and how did he get there, and what's the story, really?

Take time to deliberate; but when the time for action arrives, stop thinking and go in.

Alice Adams wrote a sweet note to me after my first novel came out when I was 26, and I was so blown away that I sent her a bunch of stamps by return mail. I have no idea what I was thinking. It was a star struck impulse.
