42 No matter how many ways you try, you cannot find a boundary to consciousness, so deep in every direction does it extend.
44 The psyche rises as a mist from things that are wet.
58 If everything were smoke, all perception would be by smell.
59 In Hades psyches perceive each other by smell alone.
62 The mind of man exists in a logical universe but is not itself logical.
65 At night we extinguish the lamp and go to sleep; at death our lamp is extinguished and we go to sleep.
