He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would suffice.
I do what I do merrily out of curiosity because I want to know how the brain works. That will get me up early in the morning and keep me going all day long.
My eyes, my brain seek out escape routes wherever I am sent.
Humor is by far the most significant activity of the human brain.
The tin man vs. the straw man. The candidate with a brain but without a heart against the president with a heart but without a brain. That’s how many Latin Americans are viewing the race between John Kerry and George W. Bush.
A lot of people have gotten into comedy because of certain influences in their lives or events that were painful, and I really have wracked my brain to figure it out. I pretty much have had a normal childhood. Maybe it was too normal.

My brain, I believe, is the most beautiful part of my body.
When we have any function, whether it’s language or vision or cognitive functions like memory, we aren’t dealing with a straight line to the brain that says ‘This is what I do.’ The brain builds a network of connections, a network of neurons that have a particular role in that function.
I get so nervous on stage I can’t help but talk. I try. I try telling my brain: stop sending words to the mouth. But I get nervous and turn into my grandma. Behind the eyes it’s pure fear. I find it difficult to believe I’m going to be able to deliver.
If the brain were so simple we could understand it, we would be so simple we couldn’t.
You can teach somebody how to be a brain surgeon, but you cannot teach them how to walk on a stage and make people laugh.
You should not actually stay in bed for very long awake, because your brain is this remarkably associative device, and it quickly learns that the bed is about being awake. So you should go to another room – a room that’s dim. Just read a book – no screens, no phones – and, only when you’re sleepy, return to the bed.
When I cook, my brain stops completely.
It is more important to eat some carbohydrates at breakfast, because the brain needs fuel right away, and carbohydrate is the best source.
Of course I’m schooled in the old school method: taking what I think the director wants, then reworking it through my own brain and heart.
When we talk about stem cells, we are actually talking about a complicated series of things, including adult stem cells which are largely cells devoted to replacing individual tissues like blood elements or liver or even the brain.
Remember that politics, colonialism, imperialism and war also originate in the human brain.
Tricking your brain into thinking you are getting something sweet plays dirty tricks on your metabolism.
Do not call for black power or green power. Call for brain power.
The brain is the black box: the final frontier.
Going out and being nice to the world at large doesn’t make me feel good, so I replace that with things, with technology that does get me excited and does get my brain spinning, until one day it stops spinning, and then you can bury me.
You can’t change who you are, but you can change what you have in your head, you can refresh what you’re thinking about, you can put some fresh air in your brain.
Even before you understand them, your brain is drawn to maps.
If you have a therapist who agrees with your every word, then your brain isn’t getting proper exercise.
Animation has revitalized a part of my brain that says, ‘Oh yeah, I do like doing this. This is fun.’
If you desire to be pure, have firm faith, and slowly go on with your devotional practices without wasting your energy in useless scriptural discussions and arguments. Your little brain will otherwise be muddled.
All science requires mathematics. The knowledge of mathematical things is almost innate in us. This is the easiest of sciences, a fact which is obvious in that no one’s brain rejects it; for laymen and people who are utterly illiterate know how to count and reckon.
The chief function of the body is to carry the brain around.
Vivid images are like a beautiful melody that speaks to you on an emotional level. It bypasses your logic centers and even your intellect and goes to a different part of the brain.
There’s a lot of real estate in our brain dedicated to facial recognition and to physics. That takes a lot of processing power out of our brain.
I want to reach the people. This music is the people’s music. It’s music for your brain, for your heart, for your soul. That is what we always go to achieve. Soul united.
I’m not a man trapped in a woman’s body. I’m a brain trapped in a human body.
I never have, but I would love to pick R. Kelly’s brain.
The brain is a wonderful organ; it starts working the moment you get up in the morning and does not stop until you get into the office.
To work with the hands or brain, according to our requirements and our capacities, to do that which lies before us to do, is more honorable than rank and title.
No boxer in the history of boxing has had Parkinson’s. There’s no injury in my brain that suggests that the illness came from boxing.
As many know, brain injury comes in many forms. The two most prevalent brain injuries – stroke and trauma – affect more than 2.2 million Americans, and these numbers are expected to grow.
Thinking about quantum physics is like unraveling your brain and putting it back together again upside down. Much like studying Kabbalah.
I detest jokes – when somebody tells me one, I feel my IQ dropping; the brain cells start to disappear. But something is funny when the person delivering the line doesn’t know it’s funny or doesn’t treat it as a joke. Maybe it comes from a place of truth, or it’s a sort of rage against society.
We have to move into the 21st century, but we should do so with great care to build a ‘bi-literate’ brain that has the circuitry for ‘deep reading’ skills and, at the same time, is adept with technology.
I try to avoid Politico to spare myself psoriasis of the brain but so many journalists cite it that I’m forced to be aware of it no matter how big a moat I build.
If this humor be the safety of our race, then it is due largely to the infusion into the American people of the Irish brain.

It’s not clear whether the brain actually is designed to have nightmares or whether this is actually the process going awry.
For the last three years, I’ve been working on ‘Bromst,’ and that’s all that encompassed my brain. And now that it’s out, it will change the way that I think musically.
I had to find the interconnection of my brain together with my physiology.
I don’t think any drug that can cause brain damage, failing kidneys, hardening arteries, pain, and suffering should be made available.
I’m different. I have a different constitution, I have a different brain, I have a different heart. I got tiger blood, man. Dying’s for fools, dying’s for amateurs.
My teacher said my brain was the size of a pea. He made my life miserable by singling me out in the classroom as a failure.
I’m crazy, I’m nuts. Just the way my brain works. I’m not normal. I think differently.
I think the brain is essentially a computer and consciousness is like a computer program. It will cease to run when the computer is turned off. Theoretically, it could be re-created on a neural network, but that would be very difficult, as it would require all one’s memories.
The brain is a complex biological organ possessing immense computational capability: it constructs our sensory experience, regulates our thoughts and emotions, and controls our actions.
My brain is good, but my body is deteriorating. I probably have another two or three years. Or I can pass tomorrow, but it doesn’t make a difference to me.
Young kids are doing the same thing I did, but they’re doing it differently. They don’t do brain surgery the way they used to do it either.
As you get older, the physical abilities decrease, which is particularly frustrating because your brain gets so good! So as you are becoming less technically or physically able, younger dancers are emerging who need the space to perform.
The human body is not the person. Identity is the way the brain operates; it’s memories, it’s sensory input and output. The mind is the person.
Our brain is mapping the world. Often that map is distorted, but it’s a map with constant immediate sensory input.
I had a Tourette’s period. And obsessive compulsive disorder. Things would get in my brain that I couldn’t get out of my brain.
Genetics is crude, but neuroscience goes directly to work on the brain, and the mind follows.
