Brain Power Quotes

Brain power improves by brain use, just as our bodily strength grows with exercise. And there is no doubt that a large proportion of the female population, from school days to late middle age, now have very complicated lives indeed. A. N. Wilson
Barbara Jordan quote: "Do not call for black power or green power. Call for brain power."
Do not call for black power or green power. Call for brain power. Barbara Jordan
When I announced the development of Perl 6, I said it was going to be a community design. I designed Perl, myself. It's limited by my own brain power. So I wanted Perl 6 to be a community design. Larry Wall
I'm small, sleek and fast, but I can be lost, dropped on the floor, stolen, or chucked out a window at a moment's notice! To have my brain power in my small size should be enough. I'm brainy and beautiful, but two years from now I'll be obsolete! Deborah Shucart
Dr. Einstein was not successful in school, but he found something in the air from his own imagination and his own brain power, and look what he did. Eartha Kitt
Rosabeth Moss Kanter quote: "Cheap labor is not going to be the way we compete in the..."
Cheap labor is not going to be the way we compete in the United States. It's going to be brain power. Rosabeth Moss Kanter
We live in the Age of the Higher Brain, the cerebral cortex that has grown enormously over the last few millennia, overshadowing the ancient, instinctive lower brain. The cortex is often called the new brain, yet the old brain held sway in humans for millions of years, as it does today in most living things. The old brain can’t conjure up ideas or read. But it does possess the power to feel and, above all, to be. It was the old brain that caused our forebears to sense the closeness of a... Deepak Chopra
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
Even torture that is only verbal reinforce the power of the torturer: The prisoner's imagination leads him to dread the next round of interrogations. And when it happens, the feeling of inferiority becomes more acute; it bores into the brain, and the cultural and psychological defenses that surround the brain disintegrate and vanish. The ego is dissolved. Elie Wiesel
We were outside the world, we didn't even own things -- some clothes. . . . This arrangement resembles the prehistoric way to live, and it therefore feels right to us, because our brains recognize it from 3 millions of years practicing it. In essence our brains grew to their current configuration in response to the realities of that life. So as a result people grow powerfully attached to that kind of life, when they get the chance to live it. It allows you to concentrate your attention on the... Kim Stanley Robinson
No, I'm not interested in developing a powerful brain. All I'm after is just a mediocre brain, something like the President of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company. Alan Turing
That requires as much power as a small radio transmitter--and rather similar skills to operate. For it's the application of the power, not its amount, that matters. How long do you think Hitler's career as a dictator of Germany would have lasted, if wherever he went a voice was talking quietly in his ear? Or if a steady musical note, loud enough to drown all other sounds and to prevent sleep, filled his brain night and day? Nothing brutal, you appreciate. Yet, in the final analysis, just as... Arthur C. Clarke
without the power to concentrate thatis to say, without the power to dictate to the brain its task and to ensure obedience true life is impossible. Mind control is the first element of a full existence. Arnold Bennett
I hope you never hear those words. Your mom. She died. They are different than other words. They are too big to fit in your ears. They belong to some strange, heavy, powerful language that pounds away at the side of your head, a wrecking ball coming at you again and again, until finally, the words crack a hole large enough to fit inside your brain. And in so doing, they split you apart. Mitch Albom
George Orwell quote: "Perhaps a man really dies when his brain stops, when he loses..."
Perhaps a man really dies when his brain stops, when he loses the power to take in a new idea. George Orwell
