Vilayanur S Ramachandran Quotes

Everyone knows that metaphors are important, yet we have no idea why Picture Quote #1
The boundary between neurology and psychiatry is becoming increasingly blurred, and its only a matter of time before psychiatry becomes just another branch of neurology Picture Quote #1
The adage that fact is stranger than fiction seems to be especially true for the workings of the brain Picture Quote #1
Ask, ‘How are we different from the great apes?’ We have culture, we have civilisation, and we have language to be celebrated as part of being human Picture Quote #1
Curiosity illuminates the correct path to anything in life. If you’re not curious, that’s when your brain is starting to die Picture Quote #1
Even today no computer can understand language as well as a three-year-old or see as well as a mouse Picture Quote #1

If there is anything about your ‘self’ of which you can be sure, it is that it is anchored in your own body and yours alone. The person you experience as ‘you’ is here and now and nowhere else Picture Quote #1
In the fetus, or a really young child, all the different brain areas are connected to each other, diffusely. And as the brain develops, the excess connections are turned off, so you get very specialized areas. So most people have really specialized talents. What happens in creative people is this pooling doesn’t take place Picture Quote #1
People often ask how I got interested in the brain; my rhetorical answer is: ‘How can anyone NOT be interested in it?’ Everything you call ‘human nature’ and consciousness arises from it Picture Quote #1
There are 100 billion neurons in the adult human brain, and each neuron makes something like 1,000 to 10,000 contacts with other neurons in the brain. Based on this, people have calculated that the number of permutations and combinations of brain activity exceeds the number of elementary particles in the universe Picture Quote #1
We are not angels, we are merely sophisticated apes. Yet we feel like angels trapped inside the bodies of beasts, craving transcendence and all the time trying to spread our wings and fly off, and it’s really a very odd predicament to be in, if you think about it Picture Quote #1
Great art allows you to transcend your mortal frame and to reach for the stars. I think great science does the same thing Picture Quote #1

Our ability to perceive the world around us seems so effortless that we tend to take it for granted Picture Quote #1
Science is like a love affair with nature; an elusive, tantalising mistress. It has all the turbulence, twists and turns of romantic love, but thats part of the game Picture Quote #1
Science tells us we are merely beasts, but we don’t feel like that. We feel like angels trapped inside the bodies of beasts, forever craving transcendence Picture Quote #1
What the neurology tells us is that the self consists of many components, and the notion of one unitary self may well be an illusion Picture Quote #1

It may well be our brains are wired up to be slightly more optimistic than they should be Picture Quote #1
Ask, ‘How are we different from the great apes?’ We have culture, we have civilisation, and we have language to be celebrated as part of being human Picture Quote #1
The minute you succumb to outside pressure, you cease to be creative Picture Quote #1
A culture without mythology is not really a civilisation Picture Quote #1
Any ape can reach for a banana, but only humans can reach for the stars Picture Quote #1
If we knew about the real facts and statistics of mortality, wed be terrified Picture Quote #1
