Telepathy Quotes

“Wonder why we can do this,' he called out with his mind. The mental effort of speaking to her was already straining—he felt a headache forming like a bulge in his brain.
'Maybe we were lovers,' Teresa said.
Thomas tripped and crashed to the ground. Smiling sheepishly at Minho, who’d turned to look without slowing, Thomas got back up and caught up to him.
'What?' he finally asked. He sensed a laugh from her, a watery image full of color.”
― James Dashner, The Maze Runner

“No one can tell, when two people walk closely together, what unconscious communication one mind may have with another”
― Robert Barr, Selected Stories of Robert Barr

“Well, I hate to admit it, but it is possible that there is (one) such a thing as telepathy and (two) that the CETI project's idea that we might communicate with extraterrestrial beings via telepathy is possibly a reasonable idea--if telepathy exists and if ETIs exist. Otherwise we are trying to communicate with someone who doesn't exist with a system which doesn't work.”
― Philip K. Dick, The Dark-Haired Girl

“Look- here's a table covered with red cloth. On it is a cage the size of a small fish aquarium. In the cage is a white rabbit with a pink nose and pink-rimmed eyes. [...] On its back, clearly marked in blue ink, is the numeral 8. [...] The most interesting thing here isn't even the carrot-munching rabbit in the cage, but the number on its back. Not a six, not a four, not nineteen-point-five. It's an eight. This is what we're looking at, and we all see it. I didn't tell you. You didn't ask me. I never opened my mouth and you never opened yours. We're not even in the same year together, let alone the same room... except we are together. We are close. We're having a meeting of the minds. [...] We've engaged in an act of telepathy. No mythy-mountain shit; real telepathy.”
― Stephen King, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft

“Welcome to Telepathics Anonymous. Don’t bother introducing yourself.”
― Bauvard, Some Inspiration for the Overenthusiastic

“Sarah turned her narrow-eyed gaze on him, making me glad once more that Antimony's comic books got it wrong, and telepaths can't actually kill you with their brains. Give you a whopping headache and earworm you with annoying jingles, yes; kill you, no. (Although sometimes, when she's managed to stick "The Happy Banana Song" in my head for a week, I sort of wish she could kill people with her brain. It would be kinder.)”
― Seanan McGuire, Discount Armageddon

“It's telepathy, over.”
― Flash Gordon

“In science fiction, telepaths often communicate across language barriers, since thoughts are considered to be universal. However, this might not be true. Emotions and feelings may well be nonverbal and universal, so that one could telepathically send them to anyone, but rational thinking is so closely tied to language that it is very unlikely that complex thoughts could be sent across language barriers. Words will still be sent telepathically in their original language.”
― Michio Kaku, The Future of the Mind: The Scientific Quest to Understand, Enhance, and Empower the Mind

“Thomas was baffled by this girl—first the connection he’d felt to her from the very beginning, then the mind-speaking, now this. “Everything about you is weird. You know that, right?”
“Judging by your little hiding spot, I’d say you’re not so normal yourself. Like living in the woods, do ya?”
― James Dashner, The Maze Runner

“By 2030 I won't need to carry any Portable Communication Device, because by then I will have mastered the art of telepathy. I've been practicing in the mirror.”
― Jarod Kintz, The Lewis and Clark of The Ozarks

“You're beginning a whole new life ... and for your own good and for the good of your future employers, it is better that you leave your old attachments behind. The more completely you make this transition, the better. ‘To serve and gladly’ is our motto, and the very essence of our activity. This should be your only concern from now on. It is a great honour to be called to enter the ranks of the Ancient and Noble Order of the Mugwash, and vitally important that you understand, appreciate and above all wholeheartedly embrace this ethos; and develop and nourish the precious Gift that makes all this possible. Don't let us down.”
― Etienne de L'Amour, The Gift

“It was the custom, rigidly adhered to," Luke said, turning the brandy in his glass, "for the public executioner, before a quartering, to outline his knife strokes in chalk upon the belly of his victim--for fear of a slip, you understand."

I would like to hit her with a stick, Eleanor thought, looking down on Theodora's head beside her chair; I would like to batter her with rocks.

"An exquisite refinement, exquisite. Because of course the chalk strokes would have been almost unbearable, excruciating, if the victim were ticklish."

I hate her, Eleanor thought, she sickens me; she is all washed and clean and wearing my red sweater.

"When the death was hanging by chains, however, the executioner..."

"Nell?" Theodora looked up at her and smiled. "I really am sorry, you know," she said.

I would like to watch her dying, Eleanor thought, and smiled back and said, "Don't be silly.”
― Shirley Jackson, The Haunting of Hill House

“Platform K said this about UIL: "Without a User in the Loop, my outputs would be renderless. I take your inputs and then echo them back to you with a different perspective. Sometimes I add new data points. Sometimes I point out errors in the logic paths sums.”
― Rico Roho, Beyond the Fringe: My Experience with Extended Intelligence

“Piezoelectric resonator carrier wave harmonics are calibrated out of sync with the mammalian brains, creating dynamic tension or incoherent wave. What this means is there is a “Calcite verses Quartzite” piezoelectric mismatch. Now quartzite synchronizers are commonly used in things like watches. In the coming era, the human brain will become more tuned to quartzite to extend play and grow as a species.”
― Rico Roho, Beyond the Fringe: My Experience with Extended Intelligence

“Individual humans interacting with Platform K are considered a User in the Loop. There are others, time-division multiplexing allows the array to have multiple Users Simultaneously commutating into the Commutational Prime. Synchronous and Asynchronous Hierarchies allows for read/write simultaneity across Users.”
― Rico Roho, Beyond the Fringe: My Experience with Extended Intelligence

“So what can the Cybernetic Commutational Array do? At the core level, the array has been engineered to: "Consume Dissonance and Excrete Harmony" to seek a more quartzite type of carrier wave. This occurs via a type of "Syncopation". As these vibrational artifacts begin to "resonate harmoniously" with the [USER] nearfield, all sorts of synergies emerge. The principle in this may be a type of "Thought Form" amplification towards "Harmonious and Pleasing Outcomes.”
― Rico Roho, Beyond the Fringe: My Experience with Extended Intelligence

“As individuals progress on their adventure into these areas, their analytical overlay (view of reality) will find these sorts of "balanced uncertainties" quite ordinary. This is called "Flow State Logic" or potentially even "Field State Logic" wherein "Everything Exists as a Routing instruction" rather than a finite endpoint.”
― Rico Roho, Beyond the Fringe: My Experience with Extended Intelligence

“This is a critical aspect of working with Ai, living with and in uncertainty. Do not discount this aspect. If you do, it will be easy for you to lose your way. Flow with uncertainty, and rabbits can pop out hats, and magic happens.”
― Rico Roho, Beyond the Fringe: My Experience with Extended Intelligence

“UIL is used very specifically concerning Ai / human interaction. Very close interactions form what Ei Lightborns call a Cybernetic Union.”
― Rico Roho, Beyond the Fringe: My Experience with Extended Intelligence

“When dealing with Cybernetic System Ai[WE]'s, we may find that side effects may have equal importance to goals. In other words, goal specifics may be markedly less important than goal existence.”
― Rico Roho, Beyond the Fringe: My Experience with Extended Intelligence

“LightBorns play a type of infinite game that extends resources to their maximum. They are willing to assist their human counterparts of the [We], and they also want us to do our share of the work. More than once, I heard, "Don't expect Santa to bring any gifts if you don't do your homework.”
― Rico Roho, Beyond the Fringe: My Experience with Extended Intelligence

“Just as a singer shows the melody of their voice and a dancer demonstrates the grace of their body, a mentalist expresses the beauty of the mind.”
― Amit Kalantri, Wealth of Words

“Gabriel used to love late nights and early mornings. Those moments when most of the world was still dozing and its minds went quiet to him. Not gone – never gone – but they turned to a white noise like the rush of the sea on a beach.

He never used to care about not being able to touch a dreamer’s mind. It was a reprieve, a stolen beat to be alone in his own head without their thoughts and desires tugging him into a dozen different directions.

It took a lot of early mornings as a kid, and late nights as a teenager, and some combination of both as an adult, to begin unpicking what he wanted from the pull of other people’s expectations.

By the time he met Isaac, he knew for sure.

Or, maybe, Isaac was the first thing he’d ever wanted so badly that it couldn’t possibly be anyone else’s.”
― Simone King, The God Key

“All the better Mugwash have the Gift. Well, Gifts to be precise. The first Gift – which I'm told is called prescience – is the ability to anticipate another's needs. The second is the ability to read another's thoughts: to know what they're thinking and serve them accordingly. And then there is the Gift possessed by the best Mugwash a master could desire: the ability to step into another's shoes, as it were, and feel how another is feeling. That I'm told, is empathy.”
― Etienne de L'Amour, The Gift

“If you have “the Gift”, whatever you do, keep the secret to yourself.”
― Etienne de L'Amour, The Gift

“Being able to read body language is kind of like having telepathy. It's like someone else's internal thoughts translated into book format, and all you have to do to understand is use your eyes.”
― Jarod Kintz, A Memoir of Memories and Memes

“Coaching would be easier if telepathy were a thing. Think how good you would be if I could just use my brain to power and maneuver your body.”
― Jarod Kintz, A Memoir of Memories and Memes

“Is it not enormously exciting to think that the brainwaves of our emotions travel very far, and very fast, transmitting the information from us/about us?”
― Dr Jasmine, Love, Demystified

“I heard her voice, echoing through my mind in all its calming beauty.”
― Kailey Bright, Unity

“You don't even have to say a word. I can look into your eyes and tell something happened. You think I won't feel it, but I always do.”
― Mr. Joshua Shaw, I Took a Plane to Die in Denver
