Skull Quotes

When something does not insist on being noticed, when we aren’t grabbed by the collar or struck on the skull by a presence or an event, we take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude Picture Quote #1

I have a very large forehead. I have a pronounced skull. Maybe producers think that there is a lot going on up in there Picture Quote #1

$Scarily, football helmets, which do a fine job of protecting against scalp laceration and skull fracture, do little to prevent concussions and may even exacerbate them, since even as the brain is rattling around inside the skull, the head is rattling around inside the helmet Picture Quote #1$

It is at night... that the mind is most clear, that we are most able to hold all our life in the palm of our skull Picture Quote #1

You were one person alive and your brain was encased in a skull. There were other people out there. It took effort to be connected Picture Quote #1

I’ve always envied people who sleep easily. Their brains must be cleaner, the floorboards of the skull well swept, all the little monsters closed up in a steamer trunk at the foot of the bed Picture Quote #1

Suppose within each book there is another book, and within every letter on every page another volume constantly unfolding; but these volumes take no space on the desk. Suppose knowledge could be reduced to a quintessence, held within a picture, a sign, held within a place which is no place. Suppose the human skull were to become capacious, spaces opening inside it, humming chambers like beehives Picture Quote #1

We all have secret lives. The life of excretion; the world of inappropriate sexual fantasies; our real hopes, our terror of death; our experience of shame; the world of pain; and our dreams. No one else knows these lives. Consciousness is solitary. Each person lives in that bubble universe that rests under the skull, alone Picture Quote #1

The destiny of every human being is decided by what goes on inside his skull when confronted by what goes on outside his skull Picture Quote #1

.. when the first rubber ball smacked her in the head and made her brains rattle in her skull, she knew that something about this dodgeball game was different Picture Quote #1

As soon as reality breaks, as soon as we’re separated from the phsical world, the cracks begin to appear in our minds. And through them seeps the madness that has always been there, flowing into your skull like a liquid nightmare Picture Quote #1

The brain, or cerebrum, is a material entity located inside the skull which may be inspected, touched, weighed, and measured. It is composed of chemicals, enzymes, and humors which may be analyzed. Its structure is characterized by neurons, pathways, and synapses which may be examined directly when they are properly magnified Picture Quote #1

If we could look through the skull into the brain of a consciously thinking person, and if the place of optimal excitability were luminous, then we should see playing over the cerebral surface, a bright spot with fantastic, waving borders constantly fluctuating in size and form, surrounded by a darkness more or less deep, covering the rest of the hemisphere Picture Quote #1

Its at night, when perhaps we should be dreaming, that the mind is most clear, that we are most able to hold all our life in the palm of our skull. I don’t know if anyone has ever pointed out that great attraction of insomnia before, but it is so; the night seems to release a little more of our vast backward inheritance of instincts and feelings; as with the dawn, a little honey is allowed to ooze between the lips of the sandwich, a little of the stuff of dreams to drip into the waking mind Picture Quote #1

No one is born just once. If you’re lucky, you’ll emerge again in someone’s arms; or unlucky, wake when the long tail of terror brushes the inside of your skull Picture Quote #1

I walked over and looked closer at the statue of the goddess. She was wearing a headdress with a skull and a cobra and a crescent moon. Maybe this is what peace of mind was all about: having a poisonous snake on your head and smiling anyway Picture Quote #1

When you die of sorrow it’s as if you’ve broken all the bones in your body, bruised yourself all over, cracked your skull. That’s sorrow Picture Quote #1

Memory is all we are. Moments and feelings, captured in amber, strung on filaments of reason. Take a man’s memories and you take all of him. Chip away a memory at a time and you destroy him as surely as if you hammered nail after nail through his skull Picture Quote #1

I think one of poetry’s functions is not to give us what we want... The poet isn’t always of use to the tribe. The tribe thrives on the consensual. The tribe is pulling together to face the intruder who threatens it. Meanwhile, the poet is sitting by himself in the graveyard talking to a skull Picture Quote #1

Moreover he saw a skull floating on the surface of the water and he said unto it: Because you drowned others they drowned you; and those that drowned you will eventually be drowned Picture Quote #1

I was six years old when my parents told me that there was a small, dark jewel inside my skull, learning to be me Picture Quote #1

I try to neutralize my figures; I want them to be mythic and timeless. I want them to exist beyond time. I’ve used the skull caps or cowls to banish hair, which is distracting. I want to isolate the face and concentrate on what is really going on deep within my subjects Picture Quote #1

Hold your head up to the gun of a million cathode ray tubes aired at your tiny skull Picture Quote #1

We’re all just bags of bones and muscle and hormones; I’ll never understand what makes our minds do the things we do. It’s like that statue of the monkey holding a skull. We’re trying to use a thing we don’t understand to understand ourselves Picture Quote #1

Man’s skull represents the same infinity for the movement of conceptions. It is equal to the universe, for in it is contained all that sees in it Picture Quote #1

Getting punched in the face with a padded glove doesn’t really hurt your face. It doesn’t hurt your skull. The only thing it hurts is your brain. You can feel the brain injury happening. It’s an instant headache Picture Quote #1

I collect skulls; I think that a beautiful skull is a really good gift for a guy Picture Quote #1

I fell in love with my wife twenty years ago. I am only now, it seems, getting it through my very thick skull how lucky I am Picture Quote #1

There is great treasure there behind our skull and this is true about all of us. This little treasure has great, great powers, and I would say we only have learnt a very, very small part of what it can do Picture Quote #1

Ever wonder what crime you committed that you are confined to a small enclosure above your sinuses, under permanent skull arrest? Picture Quote #1
