Famous quotes containing the word brain:

    To accuse another of having weak kidneys, lungs, or heart, is not a crime; on the contrary, saying he has a weak brain is a crime. To be considered stupid and to be told so is more painful than being called gluttonous, mendacious, violent, lascivious, lazy, cowardly: every weakness, every vice, has found its defenders, its rhetoric, its ennoblement and exaltation, but stupidity hasn’t.
    Primo Levi (1919–1987)

    My brain sang
    a rhythm I never dreamt to sing,
    “I will be gay and laugh and sing,
    he is going away.”
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    Money is the last enemy that shall never be subdued. While there is flesh there is money—or the want of money, but money is always on the brain so long as there is a brain in reasonable order.
    Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
