Cognition Quotes

How thinkers describe the workings of the mind.

These quotes treat cognition as more than just thinking. One ties it to the vibrations that carry sensory information from the world around us, while another separates cognition entirely from emotion and consciousness across the boundaries of Mind and mental action.


Cognitive therapy gets its own mention too, framing a 'cognition' as simply the way you look at things: your perceptions and attitudes shaping your mood. For related ideas, see Awareness quotes or Cognizant quotes.
