Doctor Zhivago - Boris Pasternak

This quote was added by gd50
A conscious attempt to fall asleep is sure to produce insomnia, to try to be conscious of one's own digestion is a sure way to upset the stomach. Consciousness is a poison when we apply it to ourselves. Consciousness is a light directed outward. It's like the headlights on a locomotive-turn them inward and you'd have a crash.
