Seite 116 - The essential achievement of the will, in short, when it is most 'voluntary,' is to attend to a difficult object and hold it fast before the mind.
Seite 75 - It is a wretched thing to confess; but it is a very fact that not one word I ever utter can be taken for granted as an opinion growing out of my identical Nature — how can it, when I have no nature? When I am in a room with People, if I ever am free from speculating on creations of my own brain, then, not myself goes home to myself: but the identity of every one in the room begins to...
