The worst enemy of human hope is not brute facts but men of brains who will not face them.

Any institution faces two basic choices if they hope to spark new ideas. One is to leverage the brains trust within their organization by creating a special event dedicated to new thinking. The other is to look outside themselves to stimulate solutions.

All my day is spent dealing with other people. When I come home I like it to be empty. The presence of others in my house kind of annoys me. I love coming home and shutting the doors. I feel brain dead. I'm relatively available but not to live with.

I'm not squeamish at all. As a child I dragged a dead squirrel home on my skateboard and cut it open and tried to look at its brain.

The juvenile sea squirt wanders through the sea searching for a suitable rock or hunk of coral to cling to and make its home for life. For this task it has a rudimentary nervous system. When it finds its spot and takes root it doesn't need its brain anymore so it eats it!

We all have times when we go home at night and pull out our hair and feel misunderstood and lonely and like we're falling. I think the brain is such that there is always going to be something missing.

A strange thing is memory and hope one looks backward and the other forward one is of today the other of tomorrow. Memory is history recorded in our brain memory is a painter it paints pictures of the past and of the day.

We are dealing with the best-educated generation in history. But they've got a brain dressed up with nowhere to go.

I think it's important that as a matter of course the brain and spinal column were removed from this cow and that would be the material that would cause concern in terms of human health. And therefore we're confident in the safety of the food supply.

It is now possible to quantify people's levels of happiness pretty accurately by asking them by observation and by measuring electrical activity in the brain in degrees from terrible pain to sublime joy.

I saw that all beings are fated to happiness: action is not life but a way of wasting some force an enervation. Morality is the weakness of the brain.

Happiness comes only when we push our brains and hearts to the farthest reaches of which we are capable.

I tell students that even if they don't like math right now they can use math as a brain-sharpening tool - a tool that not only builds the foundation for a great career but that also builds self-confidence no matter what they choose to do with their lives.

A great architect is not made by way of a brain nearly so much as he is made by way of a cultivated enriched heart.

I try to read for pleasure whenever I can - it's a great way just to shut it off for a while so your brain doesn't get fried.

A good man can be stupid and still be good. But a bad man must have brains.

The brain is like a muscle. When it is in use we feel very good. Understanding is joyous.

Man's mind is like a store of idolatry and superstition so much so that if a man believes his own mind it is certain that he will forsake God and forge some idol in his own brain.

God gave women intuition and femininity. Used properly the combination easily jumbles the brain of any man I've ever met.

The future is built on brains not prom court as most people can tell you after attending their high school reunion. But you'd never know it by talking to kids or listening to the messages they get from the culture and even from their schools.

The human brain now holds the key to our future. We have to recall the image of the planet from outer space: a single entity in which air water and continents are interconnected. That is our home.

My parents grandparents aunts and uncles were all funny and I felt that energy that delivery that timing that sarcasm. All that stuff seeped into my brain.

It's so funny because right now I'm very tired and my brains a little dead I tend to get very focused and serious. So I'm probably coming off a lot more like Scully right now.

I don't really get shaken very much. People could heckle me a spotlight could go out I could forget a lyric... I'm not operating on somebody's brain you know what I mean? So I just think it's all funny.
