Civilization is the art of living in towns of such size the everyone does not know everyone else.

There is no such thing as a complete consciousness.

The importance of writing in the breakdown of the bicameral voices is tremendously important. What had to be spoken is now silent and carved upon a stone to be taken in visually.

Conscious mind is a spatial analog of the world and mental acts are analogs of bodily acts. Consciousness operates only on objectively observable things. Or, to say it another way with echoes of John Locke, there is nothing in consciousness that is not an analog of something that was in behavior first.

The language of men was involved with only one hemisphere in order to leave the other free for the language of the gods.

The very reason we need logic at all is because most reasoning is not conscious at all.

The vestiges of the bicameral mind do not exist in any empty psychological space.
