What a wee little part of a person's life are his acts and his words! His real life is led in his head, and is known to none but himself. All day long, the mill of his brain is grinding, and his thoughts, not those of other things, are his history. These are his life, and they are not written.

-- Mark Twain

(Feldkirch, Austria)

[pratchettquotes]

An ant has an easy mind to read. There's just one stream of big simple thoughts: Carry, Carry, Bite, Get Into The Sandwiches, Carry, Eat. Something like a dog is more complicated--a dog can be thinking several thoughts at the same time. But a human mind is a great sullen lightning-filled cloud of thoughts, all of them occupying a finite amount of brain processing time. Finding whatever the owner thinks they're thinking in the middle of the smog of prejudices, memories, worries, hopes and fears is almost impossible.

Terry Pratchett, Witches Abroad

Det er ens eget indre som er sorgens eller gledens kilde.

- Knut Hamsun

It is one's own inner self that is the source of sorrow or joy.

He longed for thoughts which were quiet and at rest.

I've never done anything but dream. This, and this alone, has been the meaning of my life. My only real concern has been my inner life.

An upright narcissus. Baby grand narcissus are more expensive and Grand narcissus can be 10 feet or more longer. Steinway Narcissus are supposed to be the best. An inexpensive plastic narcissus with only two octaves doesn't make great sounds, but may keep baby occupied.
