Poetic Cognition QUOTES

1 " Time reflects in moments of understanding.
Blueprints to the construction of productiveness.
Instructions detailed in the mental ink of
contrasting retrospect recycled for success. "

― Calvin W. Allison , Poetic Cognition

2 " For several years I tried hard to convince myself that others thought as I did. But, after a great deal of evaluating their methods of reasoning, I slowly began to realize just how different we rationalized. They mostly seem simplistic, and, as much as I have tried, I just can’t reason in that, or in a likewise, manner. I admire simplicity though, and there is grandeur in it that is attractive. But I have a wild, untamed mind with loud, vivid thoughts that can’t seem to settle in one moment. My moments regularly collide together resounding in the next and in the next and in the next. I take comfort in knowing that I was designed like this, and that I’m only different here in the temporal. God completely understands me, and He has set my purpose into motion. In His great Hands I reside. "

3 " First impressions don’t mean much to me. It’s usually about the fifth that catches my attention. "

4 " The first thing to look for in a genius is odd behavior. "

― Calvin W. Allison , Poetic Cognition

5 " The first thing to look for in a genius is odd behavior. I was around 40 years old when I recognized my own oddity in character, and I was completely caught off guard by this transparency. I had been aware of my very difficult mental battles, such as OCD and Misophonia (though for several years I didn’t even know they were actual conditions), but I convinced myself that those were basically just issues that weren’t actually attached to my character. I thought that I could confine them to my private life, and that the world around me wouldn’t be able to detect them, and I convinced myself that the majority of others probably went through similar things. But I was wrong. My conditions were not normal, and I was not normal. "

6 " I am completely aware that God has given me my mind, and that all of the knowledge that I possess has merely been installed in me by Him. I don’t view myself as special, but only as different, and that difference, that designed set of characteristics are there to bring about God’s purpose for my life. "

7 " Have you ever noticed anything about someone that you wished wasn’t like it was? If so, did you ever stop to think that what it might quite possibly be is that you’re not very understanding, caring, patient, friendly, or loving? "

― Calvin W. Allison , Poetic Cognition

8 " I’ve heard it expressed before that a writer should read a lot in order to gain insights from experienced or professional others, thus following the general blueprint of the long chain of authors. Well, I guess that I’m a bit odd or a bit unorthodox in that chain, because I just don’t read many books. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve read the Bible from cover to cover more than once, and I stay diligent in my studies and research, I just don’t read many books by modern day authors. "

9 " I can't submit these files into minds that cannot hold
the reins to mental horses that ride all night to gold "

― Calvin W. Allison , Poetic Cognition

10 " I'm a free tour through the uncharted channels of the psychological sphere. "

― Calvin W. Allison , Poetic Cognition

11 " I’ve never been one to be concerned about the
consequences that follow from doing the right thing. "

― Calvin W. Allison , Poetic Cognition

12 " I suppose I’ve overdosed on ideas more than a couple of thousand times in my lifetime and, all things considered, am still functioning exceptionally well. I’m busy with projects, and my mind, powered by an unlimited source of inspiration, is still working on overdrive exceeding natural thought limits. I suppose that was a good buildup for the punchline, a fairly good verbal drumroll for the climax, and a good preparation paragraph predecessor to the grand finale:
Great Things Are Ahead. "

― Calvin W. Allison , Poetic Cognition

13 " There are these fields we cannot see
in these places we cannot be.
Yet we welcome the mystery
in the leaves from each hid tree. "

― Calvin W. Allison , Poetic Cognition

14 " I will write you a sky where your heart can soar high
as the wings in my mind enable you to fly. "

― Calvin W. Allison , Poetic Cognition

15 " It’s true that time holds no space
in which our minds cannot trace.
Yet, oh mystery, we welcome thee
and all the clues that we can see
out there beyond the history
to futures known by destiny. "

― Calvin W. Allison , Poetic Cognition

16 " Wearing loafers in the rain is not the best use of the brain.
Yet still the clock remains, and the universe sustains.
So I walk the social drain like a magnet for disdain
over nets in ally lanes set by clumsy hurry canes. "

― Calvin W. Allison , Poetic Cognition

17 " Don’t know about it until you think about it. "

― Calvin W. Allison , Poetic Cognition

18 " he mountains are cast away with the other turmoils that melted your snowmen during your relapses into retrospect where the cat of your crossings jumped through its curious hoops while the flummoxed chicken ran around a pumpkin patch until it found the dirt that no rug could conceal for the shootout on the street that subsequently became a war in a chaotic dust storm on the porch of reflection. "

― Calvin W. Allison , Poetic Cognition

19 " People who won’t admit when they’re wrong have no desire to be right. "

― Calvin W. Allison , Poetic Cognition
