21 " I can see clearly now,
my brain is gone.

Lucy "

― Cathy Hopkins , Mates, Dates, and Sole Survivors (Mates, Dates, #5)

22 " Her brain is like a filing cabinet – everything neatly stored in categories. My brain is more like soup – everything all blended and mushed together. "

― Cat Clarke

23 " Well, more or less, you just got struck by lightning." " Wait, what?" My brain stopped processing for a prolonged moment unable to wrap around that one. How the hell had that happened? " So basically I was filled with 1.21 jiggawatts?Can I travel through time now? "

24 " I walk up and down the rows. The heads look like rubber halloween masks. They also look like human heads, but my brain has no precedent for human heads on tables or in roasting pans or anywhere other than on top of a human bodies, and so I think it has chosen to interpret the sight in a more comforting manner. - Here we are at the rubber mask factory. Look at the nice men and woman working on the masks. "

― Mary Roach , Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers

25 " The 'one book' which hasn't been written yet, even thenpersistent a book is being written by me, and might never end!While, I survive inside my brain with someone. "

26 " My books are my brain and my heart made visible. "

― Merilyn Simonds , Gutenberg’s Fingerprint: A Book Lover Bridges the Digital Divide

27 " Something in me - probably a small, nationalist dwarf part of my brain - something in me would like to feel proud of Dutch literature. But its hard to when the annual 'book week gift' year in year out is granted to a male. I dont like being part of an unjust system. But let me say this: it is the election method that is the real problem here. The 'vergadering' (meeting) that employs a simple flagging system - the basic way almost everything is decided here, from literary prizes to how much money is divided - it is a system based on the destruction of subtle values. You cannot ever ever say: I didnt understand this book. You can only say 'yes' or 'no'. And that system, that annihilates all forms of subtlety, that system is patriarchal in all its essence. So its useless to simply maintain the method, and try alter the outcome. "

― Martijn Benders

28 " The Gunner's Dream (From The Final Cut)

Floating down through the clouds
Memories come rushing up to meet me now.
In the space between the heavens
and in the corner of some foreign field
I had a dream.
I had a dream.
Good-bye Max.
Good-bye Ma.
After the service when you're walking slowly to the car
And the silver in her hair shines in the cold November air
You hear the tolling bell
And touch the silk in your lapel
And as the tear drops rise to meet the comfort of the band
You take her frail hand
And hold on to the dream.
A place to stay
Enough to eat
Somewhere old heroes shuffle safely down the street
Where you can speak out loud
About your doubts and fears
And what's more no-one ever disappears
You never hear their standard issue kicking in your door.
You can relax on both sides of the tracks
And maniacs don't blow holes in bandsmen by remote control
And everyone has recourse to the law
And no-one kills the children anymore.
And no one kills the children anymore.

Night after night
Going round and round my brain
His dream is driving me insane.
In the corner of some foreign field
The gunner sleeps tonight.
What's done is done.
We cannot just write off his final scene.
Take heed of his dream. "

― Roger Waters

29 " These wars have been so great, they are forgotten Like the Egyptian dynasts. My confrere In whose thick boots I stood, were you amazed To wander through my brain four decades later As I have wandered in a dream through yours?The violence of waking life disruptsThe order of our death. Strange dreams occur, For dreams are licensed as they never were. "

30 " You hit me again," I said, growing oddly annoyed." Ya think?" Evil Riggs said. Smart-ass." Part of my brain hurts. I demand to know what that part of my brain is called and what its job is. "

31 " How could they have forgotten the importance of today’s date? My brain screamed at me as, with shaking fingers, I climbed the stairs to the bus, before making my way to the back, out of sight. My birthday, like the norm, happens on the same date every year. Therefore, the confused part of my brain argued, how could they have all simply forgotten this fact and acted so “normal” when I entered the kitchen this morning?
They may have been abducted by aliens in the night? This was a voice from the incomprehensible area of my mind. Consequently, their behaviour would make complete sense then!
Furthermore, answered another voice from the same ridiculous compartment, they could’ve simply gone to bed last night fine and then awoken the next morning with amnesia? Sometimes, these things happen unexpectedly. Adele Rose, Awakening. "

32 " I look up at the painting. It's not even that interesting. Definitely doesn't grab me and shake my brain around like the meadow scene did. "

― Stefan Bachmann , A Drop of Night

33 " Our cells stimulate our pain receptors in order to get our brain to focus and pay attention. Once my brain acknowledges the existence of the pain, then it has served its purpose and either lightens up in intensity, or goes away. "

― Jill Bolte Taylor , My Stroke of Insight: A Brain Scientist's Personal Journey

34 " There is no need for temples, no need for
complicated philosophies. My brain and my
heart are my temples; my philosophie is
kindness. "

― Dalai Lama XIV

35 " How all my brain was in tumult, and all my heart in insurrection! Yet in what darkness, what dense ignorance, was the mental battle fought! "

― Charlotte Brontë , Jane Eyre

36 " And without my consent, with my defences in ruins, while my brain was sleeping, my stupid heart went and fell headfirst into love. "

― N.R. Walker , Spencer Cohen, Book Two (Spencer Cohen, #2)

37 " I'm chasing a decade old ghost. Searching beneath the rafters of a cobweb-filled haven lined with old memories which my brain cannot accept are dead. The light of nostalgia is burning bright inside my heart. Ignoring the emptiness around me, and hoping for a resurrection of love. "

38 " Are you all right, Sir?" asked Hezekiah." Just fighting over old battles in my mind," said John. " It's the problem with age. You have all these rusty arguments, and no quarrel to use them in. My brain is a museum, but alas, I'm the only visitor, and even I am not terribly interested in the displays." Hezekiah laughed, but there was affection in it. " I would love nothing better than to visit there. But I'm afraid I'd be tempted to loot the place, and carry it all away with me. "

39 " I felt a Cleaving in my Mind—
As if my Brain had split—
I tried to match it—Seam by Seam—
But could not make it fit.

The thought behind, I strove to join
Unto the thought before—
But Sequence ravelled out of Sound
Like Balls—upon a Floor. "

― Emily Dickinson , The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson

40 " You’re an English major, aren't you?” “Hey!” Immediately retreating, Keith swatted at him with a dishcloth. “Leave my brain alone. It’s resting.” “Sorry, sorry.” He leaned away, hands up to display his surrender. “I didn't mean it, I take it back.” “You’d better "
