Internal Reflection

Famous quotes containing the words internal and/or reflection:

    The analogy between the mind and a computer fails for many reasons. The brain is constructed by principles that assure diversity and degeneracy. Unlike a computer, it has no replicative memory. It is historical and value driven. It forms categories by internal criteria and by constraints acting at many scales, not by means of a syntactically constructed program. The world with which the brain interacts is not unequivocally made up of classical categories.
    Gerald M. Edelman (b. 1928)

    With some people solitariness is an escape not from others but from themselves. For they see in the eyes of others only a reflection of themselves.
    Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
