"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself Any direction you choose." --- Dr. Seuss
"We are an intelligent species and the use of our intelligence quite
properly gives us pleasure. In this respect the brain is like a muscle.
When it is in use we feel very good. Understanding is joyous."
"The brain is a monstrous, beautiful mess. Its billions of nerve cells
-
called neurons - lie in a tangled web that displays cognitive powers far
exceeding any of the silicon machines we have built to mimic it."
"The brain is a world consisting of a number of unexplored continents
and great stretches of unknown territory."
"Swiftly the brain becomes an enchanted loom, where millions of
flashing shuttles weave a dissolving pattern - always a meaningful pattern
- though never an abiding one."
"Shaped a little like a loaf of French country bread, our brain is a
crowded chemistry lab, bustling with nonstop neural
conversations."
"The human brain, then, is the most complicated organization of matter
that we know."
"A better understanding of the brain is certain to lead man to a richer
comprehension both of himself, of his fellow man, and of society, and in
fact of the whole world with its problems."
