I like nonsense it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do and that enables you to laugh at life's realities.

If this humor be the safety of our race then it is due largely to the infusion into the American people of the Irish brain.

Humor is by far the most significant activity of the human brain.

Writing a song is much like being an author. Yes we all have tools to write (everyone has a brain I hope!) but that doesn't all of a sudden make us best selling authors.

I am not afraid of dying. I have lived longer than most people in the world. What scares me is to have a body that works but a brain that is waving goodbye. If that happens I hope I die quickly.

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.
