Modern science tells us that the conscious self arises from a purely physical brain. We do not have immaterial souls.
According to materialistic science, any memory requires a material substrate, such as the neuronal network in the brain or the DNA molecules of the genes.
Don't let anyone turn you into a slave. You're a slave if you let the media tell you that sports and entertainment are more important than developing your brain.
For an actress to be a success, she must have the face of Venus, the brains of a Minerva, the grace of Terpsichore, the memory of a Macaulay, the figure of Juno, and the hide of a rhinoceros.

I don't want technology to take me so far that I don't have to use my brain anymore. It's like GPS taking over and losing your internal compass. It's always got to be tactile, still organic.
I'm not ashamed to say I love television. I put the TV on, and my brain switches off, and I just sit there for a few hours.
I cannot live or write without music. It stimulates the normally dormant parts of my brain that come in handy when constructing fiction.

No matter how powerful, countries cannot rule the whole world. The world is ruled by brains, by justice, by morals and by fairness.
If you paint, write, do mosaics, knit - if it's solving that part of your brain saying, 'I need to do this,' you've won.
We are making a little portion of their brains be sprinters; they are 100 percent football players, but for these purposes, they must learn the proper way to run.
For God's sake, have some self-respect and do not run off at the mouth if your brain is out to lunch.
Interestingly enough, not all feelings result from the body's reaction to external stimuli. Sometimes changes are purely simulated in the brain maps.
The brain is highly structured, but it is also extremely flexible. It's not a blank slate, but it isn't written in stone, either.
