Philosophy in the Flesh (Lakoff/Johnson)

One of my favorite quotes from this Lakoff/Johnson book (Philosophy in the Flesh) is as follows: 

"The mind is inherently embodied.   Thought is mostly unconscious.   Abstract concepts are largely metaphorical."

In retrospection and introspection, many of the concepts we are studying in this class somewhat revolve around these ideas!
