The constant flux and caprice of mental events do not admit of the establishment of stable experimental conditions.

Hermann Ebbinghaus

Mental events, it is said, are not passive happenings but the acts of a subject.

Hermann Ebbinghaus

Mental states of every kind — sensations, feelings, images— which were at one time present in consciousness and then have disappeared from it — have not with their disappearance absolutely ceased to exist. Although the inwardly - turned look may no longer be able to find them, nevertheless they have not been utterly destroyed and annulled, but in a certain manner they, continue to exist, stored up to speak, in the memory.
