If you're a thinking person, the liver is interesting, but nothing is more intriguing than the brain.

The adage that fact is stranger than fiction seems to be especially true for the workings of the brain.

The brain abhors discrepancies.

Remember that politics, colonialism, imperialism and war also originate in the human brain.

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.
