Famous quotes containing the word brain:
“When our brain feels too weak to deal with our opponent’s objections, our heart answers by casting suspicion on their underlying motives.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“I could brain him with his lady’s fan.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“We talk about a representative government; but what a monster of a government is that where the noblest faculties of the mind, and the whole heart, are not represented! A semihuman tiger or ox, stalking over the earth, with its heart taken out and the top of its brain shot away. Heroes have fought well on their stumps when their legs were shot off, but I never heard of any good done by such a government as that.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
