Our mind is who we are; it’s where we feel and think and believe. It’s where we have love and hate and faith and passion.’ I was getting a little embarrassed by your earnestness but you continued, ‘How can someone hope to treat another person’s mind unless they are also a theologian and a philosopher and a poet?

About This Quote

I began to feel a little embarrassed by your earnestness but you continued, ‘How can someone hope to treat another person’s mind unless they are also a theologian and a philosopher and a poet?’ You had no way of knowing how I spent my time in the classroom. I spent it trying to memorize and understand and remember and relate and use what I learned in my everyday life. It was there that I realized that what you were saying was true. If we cannot see, hear, smell, taste, touch, think, or feel with our minds then we have no possibility of understanding or caring about the world around us.

We have to be able to use our minds to learn about the world around us. A world without minds is a world without souls.
