An open mind is really a mark of foolishness, like an open mouth. Mouths and minds were made to shut; they were made to open only in order to shut.
Gilbert Keith Chesterton
O the mind, mind has mountains; cliffs of fall
Frightful, sheer, no-man-fathomed. Hold them cheap
May who ne'er hung there.Gerard Manley Hopkins
The mind has so many pictures
Why can't I sleep with my eyes open?
The mind has so many memories
Can you remember what it looks like when I cry?Rufus Wainwright
My mind is just as open as it ever was, professor. But it's a scientific mind, and there's no place in it for superstitions.
Garrett Fort
Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die.
