Cognition

Samuel Alexander Philosopher

"But though cognition is not an element of mental action, nor even in any real sense of the word an aspect of it, the distinction of cognition and conation has if properly defined a definite value."

Franz Kafka Writer

"In one and the same human being there are cognitions that, however utterly dissimilar they are, yet have one and the same object,so that one can only conclude that there are different subjects in one and the same human being."

Marcus Tullius Cicero Politician, Philosopher, Orator

"There is nothing more shocking than to see assertion and approval dashing ahead of cognition and perception."

Ayn Rand Philosopher, Novelist

"Emotions are not tools of cognition. They tell you nothing about the nature of reality."
