“The entire quest is for acceptance. You run from pillar to post for being accepted as you are.

― Neelam Saxena Chandra

“The mind-stuff of the world is, of course, something more general than our individual conscious minds.... It is difficult for the matter-of-fact physicist to accept the view that the substratum of everything is of mental character. But no one can deny that mind is the first and most direct thing in our experience, and all else is remote inference.”
― Arthur Stanley Eddington, The Nature Of The Physical World
