Curiosity Begins As An Act Of Tearing

Mental Life Is Indeed Practical Through And Through. It Begins In Practice And It Ends In Practice.

When We Come To Images Or Memories Or Thoughts, Speculation, While Always Closely Related To Practice, Is More Explicit, And It Is In Fact Not Immediately Obvious That Such Processes Can Be Described In Any Sense As Practical.

Hence, In Desiring, The More The Enjoyment Is Delayed, The More Fancy Begins To Weave About The Object Images Of Future Fruition, And To Clothe The Desired Object With Properties Calculated To Inflame The Impulse.

An Object Is Not First Imagined Or Thought About And Then Expected Or Willed, But In Being Actively Expected It Is Imagined As Future And In Being Willed It Is Thought.

Psychology Is The Science Of The Act Of Experiencing, And Deals With The Whole System Of Such Acts As They Make Up Mental Life.
