Brain Quotes

If the cells and fibres in one human brain were all stretched out end to end, they would certainly reach to the moon and back. Yet the fact that they are not arranged end to end enabled man to go there himself. The astonishing tangle within our heads makes us what we are Picture Quote #1

Although many philosophers used to dismiss the relevance of neuroscience on grounds that what mattered was the software, not the hardware, increasingly philosophers have come to recognize that understanding how the brain works is essential to understanding the mind Picture Quote #1

The possibility that empathy resides in parts of the brain so ancient that we share them with rats should give pause to anyone comparing politicians with those poor, underestimated creatures Picture Quote #1

Strain your brain more than your eye... You can copy a thing to a certain limit. Then you must use intellect Picture Quote #1

Impressions arriving at the brain make it enter into activity, just as food falling into the stomach excites it to more abundant secretion of gastric juice Picture Quote #1

Pour some water into a tub and stir it up. Now try as hard as you can to calm the water with your hands; you will succeed in agitating it further. Let it stand undisturbed a while, and it will calm down by itself. The human brain works much the same way Picture Quote #1

You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain, too much love drives a man insane. You broke my will, but what a thrill. Goodness gracious, great balls of fire Picture Quote #1

We turned on one another deep, drowned gazes, and exchanged a kiss that reduced my bones to rubber and my brain to gruel Picture Quote #1

There are almost no limits to the discoveries of how the human brain operates in illness and health, in sleep and waking and dreaming, in calm and under tension. The question is how far man can put these discoveries to use without using them not for cure but for power Picture Quote #1

Once in a while there are things the brain simply refuses to accept as being true because they appear too improbable, too unlikely, too preposterous Picture Quote #1

Just as the results of inebriety are most painful to the habitually sober, and just as the greatest saints have often been the greatest sinners, so, when the first class brain does something stupid, the stupidity of that occasion is colossal Picture Quote #1

The number of neurons in the brain is very much larger than the number of components in a computer Picture Quote #1

The brain is not, and cannot be, the sole or complete organ of thought and feeling Picture Quote #1

The most enduring contributions made to civilization have not been made by brawn, they have been made by brain Picture Quote #1

To accuse another of having weak kidneys, lungs, or heart, is not a crime; on the contrary, saying he has a weak brain is a crime. To be considered stupid and to be told so is more painful than being called gluttonous, mendacious, violent, lascivious, lazy, cowardly: every weakness, every vice, has found its defenders, its rhetoric, its ennoblement and exaltation, but stupidity hasn’t Picture Quote #1

I waited for the idea to consolidate, for the grouping and composition of themes to settle themselves in my brain Picture Quote #1

Friends, both the imaginary ones you build for yourself out of phrases taken from a living writer, or real ones from college, and relatives, despite all the waste of ceremony and fakery and the fact that out of an hour of conversation you may have only five minutes in which the old entente reappears, are the only real means for foreign ideas to enter your brain Picture Quote #1

If we were to ask the brain how it would like to be treated, whether shaken at a random, irregular rate, or in a rhythmic, harmonious fashion, we can be sure that the brain, or for that matter the whole body, would prefer the latter Picture Quote #1

Brain surgery is a terrible profession. If I did not feel it will become different in my lifetime, I should hate it Picture Quote #1

Rest, with nothing else, results in rust. It corrodes the mechanisms of the brain. The rhubarb that no one picks goes to seed Picture Quote #1

... She knew in her heart that to be without optimism, that core of reasonless hope in the spirit rather than the brain, was a fatal flaw, the seed of death Picture Quote #1

You have the morals of rabbit, the character of a slug, and the brain of a platypus Picture Quote #1

Praise has different effects, according to the mind it meets with; it makes a wise man modest, but a fool more arrogant, turning his weak brain giddy Picture Quote #1

I think the existence of zombies would contradict certain laws of nature in our world. It seems to be a law of nature, in our world, that when you get a brain of a certain character you get consciousness going along with it Picture Quote #1

When you hit a groove, it’s not you; it’s the spirit world. The spirits whisper the ideas in your brain and prod you along. They’re the ones that are really happy Picture Quote #1

Also, because people like to multitask, in a way if you’ve got a bit of music on in the background and the lyrical content is making you want to listen to it, then that would probably put you off the texting you wanted to do. I think people like things that just make that right kind of noise, but leave your brain free to do something else Picture Quote #1

My brain is like a hard drive. Once you start adding new information, you start cutting off old information Picture Quote #1

I wanted to be a brain surgeon, but I had a bad habit of dropping things Picture Quote #1

It is literally the case that learning languages makes you smarter. The neural networks in the brain strengthen as a result of language learning Picture Quote #1

Autism is a neurological disorder. It’s not caused by bad parenting. It’s caused by, you know, abnormal development in the brain. The emotional circuits in the brain are abnormal. And there also are differences in the white matter, which is the brain’s computer cables that hook up the different brain departments Picture Quote #1
