• I am delighted that I have found a new reaction to demonstrate even to the blind the structure of the interstitial stroma of the cerebral cortex. I let the silver nitrate react with pieces of brain hardened in potassium dichromate. I have already obtained magnificent results and hope to do even better in the future.

• Taking advantage of the method, found by me, of the black staining of the elements of the brain, staining obtained by the prolonged immersion of the pieces, previously hardened with potassium or ammonium bichromate, in a 0.50 or 1.0% solution of silver nitrate, I happened to discover some facts concerning the structure of the cerebral gray matter that I believe merit immediate communication.

• We are part of nature, a product of a long evolutionary journey. To some degree, we carry the ancient oceans in our blood. … Our brains and nervous systems did not suddenly spring into existence without long antecedents in natural history. That which we most prize as integral to our humanity - our extraordinary capacity to think on complex conceptual levels - can be traced back to the nerve network of primitive invertebrates, the ganglia of a mollusk, the spinal cord of a fish, the brain of an amphibian, and the cerebral cortex of a primate.

• Capitalismo, socialismo, fascismo, comunismo, mercado libre .... ¿Para qué sirven estos planteamientos? Estos intentos los hacen hombres insuficientes cerebralmente. Yo intento devolverte el cerebro que te quitaron en las escuelas y en tu educación. Intento mostrarte cómo funciona el mundo. Así que si quieres un mundo mejor, tienes que levantar el culo y hacerlo mejor

• The idea that the bumps or depressions on a man's head indicate the presence or absence of certain moral characteristics in his mental equipment is one of the absurdities developed from studies in this field that has long since been discarded by science. The ideas of the phrenologist Gall, however ridiculous they may now seem in the light of a century's progress, were nevertheless destined to become metamorphosed into the modern principles of cerebral localization.

• My space chums think my unique hookup with humanity could be evolution's awkward attempt to jump-start itself up again. They're thinking just maybe, going crazy could be the evolutionary process trying to hurry up mind expansion. Maybe my mind didn't snap. Maybe it was just trying to stretch itself into a new shape. The cerebral cortex trying to grow a thumb of sorts.

• I'm not an advocate for disability issues. Human issues are what interest me. You can't possibly speak for a diverse group of people. I don't know what it's like to be an arm amputee, or have even one flesh-and-bone leg, or to have cerebral palsy.

• No physiologist who calmly considers the question in connection with the general truths of his science, can long resist the conviction that different parts of the cerebrum subserve different kinds of mental action. Localization of function is the law of all organization whatever: separateness of duty is universally accompanied with separateness of structure: and it would be marvellous were an exception to exist in the cerebral hemispheres.

  Herbert Spencer

• We rarely quote nowadays to appeal to authority... though we quote sometimes to display our sapience and erudition. Some authors we quote against. Some we quote not at all, offering them our scrupulous avoidance, and so make them part of our "white mythology." Other authors we constantly invoke, chanting their names in cerebral rituals of propitiation or ancestor worship.

• Considero que las diferencias entre el hombre y los animales en propensiones, sentimientos y facultades intelectuales, son el resultado de la misma causa que asignamos a las variaciones en otras funciones, es decir, la diferencia de organización; y que la superioridad del hombre en dotes racionales no es mayor que la estructura más exquisita, complicada y perfectamente desarrollada de su cerebro, y en particular de sus amplios hemisferios cerebrales, a los que el resto del reino animal no ofrece ningún paralelo, ni siquiera alguna aproximación cercana, es suficiente para explicar.

• Algunos dicen que todo lo que se llama ley psíquica no es más que el reflejo psicológico de combinaciones físicas, que se compone de sensaciones unidas a ciertos procesos cerebrales centrales... Lo contradice el hecho mismo de la conciencia, que no puede derivarse de ninguna cualidad física de las moléculas o átomos materiales.

• Too many so-called historians are really 'hysterians'; their thinking is more visceral than cerebral. When their duties as citizens clash with their responsibilities as scholars, Clio frequently takes a back seat.
