Brainy Quotations 1

Dr. Seuss (from Oh, the places you'll go!, 1990)

You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself
any direction you choose.

Anonymous (from A. Nonny Mouse Writes Again! by J. Prelutsky, 1993)

Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
Oil those brains
Before they rust.

Carl C. Pfeiffer (from Mental and Elemental Nutrients, 1975)

Brains, like cabbages, are beautiful--but in a different way. Cabbage heads are dumb and sterile, whereas brains are personal, intelligent and vibrant.

William F. Allman (from Apprentices of Wonder. Inside the Neural Network Revolution, 1989)

The brain is a monstrous, beautiful mess. Its billions of nerve cells - called neurons - lie in a tangled web that displays cognitive powers far exceeding any of the silicon machines we have built to mimic it.

Pasko T. Rakic (from Great Issues for Medicine in the Twenty-First Century, Ann. N.Y. Acad. Sciences, vol. 882, p. 66, 1999)

The brain is the organ that sets us apart from any other species. It is not the strength of our muscles or of our bones that makes us different, it is our brain.
