- "All other things partake in a portion of everything, while Nous is infinite and self-ruled, and is mixed with nothing, but is alone, itself by itself. For if it were not by itself, but were mixed with anything else, it would partake in all things if it were mixed with any; for in everything there is a portion of everything, as has been said by me in what goes before, and the things mixed with it would hinder it, so that it would have power over nothing in the same way that it has now being alone by itself. For it is the thinnest of all things and the purest, and it has all knowledge about everything and the greatest strength; and Nous has power over all things, both greater and smaller, that have soul."
- ― Anaxagoras
- "The mind of God is all the mentality that is scattered over space and time, the diffused consciousness that animates the world."
- ― Baruch Spinoza
- "Nous, a vital word in Hermetic thought, has no direct English translations. It conveys consciousness, intellect, wisdom, perception, primal divinity and sophisticated creativity, and it means all and yet none of these things directly."

Perhaps they are right." and later states that the ensuing discussion confirms the utterances of those who declared of old that mind (nous) always rules the universe.
Monitor-Mind The Overvoid (DC Comics) is sometimes viewed as an infinite consciousness or mind meant to represent the collective minds of non-fictional beings imagining the fictional universes and/or the collective canvas all fiction is drawn upon.
