Arthur Conan Doyle quote: "It is decreed by a merciful Nature that the human brain cannot..."
It is decreed by a merciful Nature that the human brain cannot think of two things simultaneously . . . Arthur Conan Doyle
A lifetime of people, unconfirmed by their living presences, or photographs or descriptions in a notebook, can only skulk in the corners like ghosts. They shift like chimeras. Careful words of warning reverse themselves like truth and newspaper stories, becoming their own opposites. An imperfectly remembered life is a useless treachery. Every day, more fragments of the past roll around heavily in the chambers of an empty brain, shedding bits of color, a sentence or a fragrance, something that... Barbara Kingsolver
...for no man lives in the external truth among salts and acids, but in the warm, phantasmagoric chamber of his brain, with the painted windows and the storied wall. Robert Louis Stevenson

Do not be so open-minded that your brains fall out. Gilbert K. Chesterton
Freedom! To fill people's mailboxes, eyes, ears and brains with commercial rubbish against their will, television programs that are impossible to watch with a sense of coherence. Freedom!

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
A baby has brains, but it doesn't know much. Experience is the only thing that brings knowledge, and the longer you are on earth the more experience you are sure to get. L. Frank Baum
Erich Maria Remarque quote: "Katczinsky says it is all to do with education - it softens..."
Katczinsky says it is all to do with education - it softens the brain. Erich Maria Remarque
Never before did I realize that mental illness could have the aspect of power, power. Think of it: perhaps the more insane a man is, the more powerful he could become. Hitler an example. Fair makes the old brain reel, doesn't it? Ken Kesey
It doesn't matter how sensitive you are or how damn smart and educated you are, if you're not both at the same time, if your heart and your brain aren't connected, aren't working together harmoniously, well, you're just hopping through life on one leg. You may think you're walking, you may think you're running a damn marathon, but you're only on a hop trip. The connections gotta be maintained. Tom Robbins

If it means to act like you’re exempt from society’s influence, that’s the worst advice in the world; you would probably stop bathing and wearing clothes.

But our brains accept this tripe as wisdom because it is more comfortable to believe we have a strategy for life than to believe we have no idea how to behave. Scott Adams
L. Frank Baum quote: "Some people without brains do an awful lot of talking, don't..."
Some people without brains do an awful lot of talking, don't you think? L. Frank Baum
It is essential to understand our brains in some detail if we are to assess correctly our place in this vast and complicated universe we see all around us. Francis Crick
