- Here are some quotes on brains. Does anyone have any other quotes on either
- brains or cognition?
-
- A fool's brain digests philosophy into folly, science into
- superstition, and art into pedantry. Hence University education.
- -- G. B. Shaw
-
- "I bet the human brain is a kludge."
- -- Marvin Minsky
-
- If little else, the brain is an educational toy.
- -- Tom Robbins
-
- "Not Hercules could have knock'd out his brains, for he had none."
- -- Shakespeare
-
- The right half of the brain controls the left half of the body. This
- means that only left handed people are in their right mind.
-
- One man's brain plus one other will produce one half as many ideas as
- one man would have produced alone. These two plus two more will
- produce half again as many ideas. These four plus four more begin to
- represent a creative meeting, and the ratio changes to one quarter as
- many ...
