Brain Quotes (page 27)

Dr. Seuss quote: "With your head full of brains and your shoes full of feet,..."
With your head full of brains and your shoes full of feet, you're too smart to go down any not-so-good street. Dr. Seuss
She could not descend to an existence where her brain would explode under the pressure of forcing itself not to outdistance incompetence. She could not function to the rule of: Pipe down-keep down-slow down-don't do your best, it is not wanted! Ayn Rand
The fact is that camels are far more intelligent than dolphins. They are so much brighter that they soon realised that the most prudent thing any intelligent animal can do, if it would prefer its descendants not to spend a lot of time on a slab with electrodes clamped to their brains or sticking mines on the bottom of ships or being patronized rigid by zoologists, is to make bloody certain humans don't find out about it. So they long ago plumped for a lifestyle that, in return for a certain... Terry Prachett
But he suddenly started up, and closing his eyes, placed his fingers upon the lids, as though he sought to imprison within his brain some curious dream from which he feared he might awake. Oscar Wilde
Particularly at those moments when we have the sorest need of grasping the sharp realities of life do the threads of thought snap off in the brain? Victor Hugo
a scattering of schizophrenic first worlders who have long ago burned their brains to ash in the radiant heat of their own imaginings Neal Stephenson
Overall, it seems now possible to draw a reasonably good explanation of why the human condition is a singularity, why the likes of it has occurred only once and took so long in coming. The reason is simply the extreme improbability of the preadaptations necessary for it to occur at all. Each of the evolutionary steps has been a full-blown adaptation in its own right. Each has required a particular sequence of one or more preadaptations that occurred previously. Homo sapiens is the only... E. O. Wilson
Tom Robbins quote: "We approach the divine by enlarging our souls and lighting up..."
We approach the divine by enlarging our souls and lighting up our brains. Tom Robbins

There is a kink in my damned brain that prevents me from thinking as other people think. Charles Sanders Peirce
Janet Evanovich quote: "Are you telling me your brain and your lady parts decided on a..."
Are you telling me your brain and your lady parts decided on a love fest bake-off winner? Janet Evanovich
Only those moments count, when the desire to remain by yourself is so powerful that you'd prefer to blow your brains out than exchange a word with someone. Emile M. Cioran
Far away, I could hear them lapping up my brains. Like Macbeth's witches, the three lithe cats surrounded my broken head, slurping up that thick soup inside. The tips of their rough tongues licked the soft folds of my mind. And with each lick my consciousness flickered like a flame and faded away. Haruki Murakami
The study of thinking machines teaches us more about the brain than we can learn by introspective methods. Western man is externalizing himself in the form of gadgets. William S. Burroughs
The brain had its own food on which it battened, and the imagination, made grotesque by terror, twisted and distorted as a living thing by pain, danced like some foul puppet on a stand and grinned through moving masks. Oscar Wilde
When, however, one reads of a witch being ducked, of a woman possessed by devils, of a wise woman selling herbs, or even of a very remarkable man who had a mother, then I think we are on the track of a lost novelist, a suppressed poet, of some mute and inglorious Jane Austen, some Emily Bronte who dashed her brains out on the moor or mopped and mowed about the highways crazed with the torture that her gift had put her to.
