Typical Owls

Famous quotes containing the words typical and/or owls:

    Consciousness is cerebral celebrity—nothing more and nothing less. Those contents are conscious that persevere, that monopolize resources long enough to achieve certain typical and “symptomatic” effects—on memory, on the control of behavior and so forth.
    Daniel Clement Dennett (b. 1942)

    There was an old man with a beard,
    who said, “It is just as I feared!—
    Two owls and a hen, four larks and a wren,
    Have all built their nests in my beard!”
    Edward Lear (1812–1888)
