“Life does not consist mainly—or even largely—of facts and happenings. It consists mainly of the storm of thoughts that is forever blowing through one's head.”

Mark Twain

“It is a very great thing to be able to think as you like; but, after all, an important question remains: what you think.”

Matthew Arnold

“O, who can hold a fire in his hand By thinking on the frosty Caucasus? Or cloy the hungry edge of appetite By bare imagination of a feast? Or wallow naked in December snow By thinking on fantastic summer’s heat?”

William Shakespeare
