Brain Areas

Famous quotes containing the words brain and/or areas:

    The shepherd is the brain behind the dog’s brain,
    But his control of dog, like dog’s of sheep
    Is never absolute—that’s the beauty of it.
    Cecil Day Lewis (1904–1972)

    The point is, that the function of the novel seems to be changing; it has become an outpost of journalism; we read novels for information about areas of life we don’t know—Nigeria, South Africa, the American army, a coal-mining village, coteries in Chelsea, etc. We read to find out what is going on. One novel in five hundred or a thousand has the quality a novel should have to make it a novel—the quality of philosophy.
    Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
