Page 206 - Whenever my introspective glance succeeds in turning round quickly enough to catch one of these manifestations of spontaneity in the act, all it can ever feel distinctly is some bodily process, for the most part taking place within the head.
Page 206 - In the first place, the acts of attending, assenting, negating, making an effort, are felt as movements of something in the head. In many cases it is possible to describe these movements quite exactly.

Lowest. — My powers are zero. To my consciousness there is almost no association of memory with...
Page 387 - Many persons, especially women and intelligent children, take pleasure in introspection, and strive their very best to explain their mental processes.
Page 242 - ... second position is the same as if the eye had turned about a fixed axis at right angles to the first and second directions of the line of regard.
