| "I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music. It seems to infuse strength into my limbs, and ideas into my brain. Life seems to go on without effort, when I am filled with music." | George Eliot | The Mill on the Floss |  |
| "Ah, me! it's a wicked world, and when a clever man turns his brains to crime it is the worst of all." | Sir Arthur Conan Doyle | The Adventure of the Speckled Band |  |
| The human brain is capable of only one strong emotion at a time, and if it be filled with curiosity or scientific enthusiasm, there is no room for fear. | Sir Arthur Conan Doyle | The Brown Hand |  |
| Family likeness has often a deep sadness in it. Nature, that great tragic dramatist, knits us together by bone and muscle, and divides us by the subtler web of our brains; blends yearning and repulsion; and ties us by our heart-strings to the beings that jar us at every movement. | George Eliot | Adam Bede |  |
| You don't know, perhaps, but I will tell you; the brain is the palest of all the internal organs, and the heart the reddest. Whatever comes from the brain carries the hue of the place it came from, and whatever comes from the heart carries the heat and color of its birthplace. | Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. | The Professor at the Breakfast Table |  |
| "To let the brain work without sufficient material is like racing an engine. It racks itself to pieces." | Sir Arthur Conan Doyle | The Adventure of the Devil's Foot |  |
| "All the same," said the Scarecrow, "I shall ask for brains instead of a heart; for a fool would not know what to do with a heart if he had one." | L. Frank Baum | The Wonderful Wizard of Oz |  |
| "I shall take the heart," returned the Tin Woodman; "for brains do not make one happy, and happiness is the best thing in the world." | L. Frank Baum | The Wonderful Wizard of Oz |  |
| "A baby has brains, but it doesn't know much. Experience is the only thing that brings knowledge, and the longer you are on earth the more experience you are sure to get." | L. Frank Baum | The Wonderful Wizard of Oz |  |
| A hound it was, an enormous coal-black hound, but not such a hound as mortal eyes have ever seen. Fire burst from its open mouth, its eyes glowed with a smouldering glare, its muzzle and hackles and dewlap were outlined in flickering flame. Never in the delirious dream of a disordered brain could anything more savage, more appalling, more hellish be conceived than that dark form and savage face which broke upon us out of the wall of fog. | Sir Arthur Conan Doyle | The Hound of the Baskervilles |  |
