Famous quotes containing the words brain and/or functions:

“Each outcry of the hunted hare
A fibre from the brain does tear.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)

“The mind is a finer body, and resumes its functions of feeding, digesting, absorbing, excluding, and generating, in a new and ethereal element. Here, in the brain, is all the process of alimentation repeated, in the acquiring, comparing, digesting, and assimilating of experience. Here again is the mystery of generation repeated.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
