From memory it is an easy step to what are called "ideas"--not in the Platonic sense, but in that of Locke, Berkeley and Hume, in which they are opposed to "impressions." You may be conscious of a friend either by seeing him or by "thinking" of him; and by "thought" you can be conscious of objects which cannot be seen, such as the human race, or physiology. "Thought" in the narrower sense is that form of consciousness which consists in "ideas" as opposed to impressions or mere memories.
...
The point is important, because what is called "thought" consists mainly (though I think not wholly) of inner speech.

The Analysis of Mind)

Le travail de la pensée n'est pas de dénoncer le mal qui habiterait secrètement tout ce qui existe, mais de préssentir le danger qui menace dans tout ce qui est habituel, et de rendre problématique tout ce qui est solide. L'"optimisme" de la pensée, si on veut employer ce mot, est de savoir qu'il n'y a pas d'âge d'or.
(M. FOUCAULT, Dits et écrits II, 1976-1988, p. 1431)

Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth — more than ruin — more even than death. Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible; thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habits; thought is anarchic and lawless, indifferent to authority, careless of the well-tried wisdom of the ages. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid. It sees man, a feeble speck, surrounded by unfathomable depths of silence; yet it bears itself proudly, as unmoved as if it were lord of the universe. Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man.
(B. RUSSELL, The Basic Writings of Bertrand Russell, Routledge, 1961)
