"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 EliotThe Mill on the Floss
Email Quote.
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 DoyleThe Brown Hand
Email Quote.
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 EliotAdam Bede
Email Quote.
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
Email Quote.
"To let the brain work without sufficient material is like racing an engine. It racks itself to pieces."Sir Arthur Conan DoyleThe Adventure of the Devil's Foot
Email Quote.
"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 BaumThe Wonderful Wizard of Oz
Email Quote.
"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 BaumThe Wonderful Wizard of Oz
Email Quote.
"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 BaumThe Wonderful Wizard of Oz
Email Quote.
His life has been spent in devotion to ideas. The passions of his brain have consumed the passions of his body.Sherwood AndersonThe Triumph of the Egg (Seeds)
Email Quote.
"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 DoyleThe Adventure of the Speckled Band
Email Quote.
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 DoyleThe Hound of the Baskervilles
Email Quote.
"He is the Napoleon of crime, Watson. He is the organizer of half that is evil and of nearly all that is undetected in this great city. He is a genius, a philosopher, an abstract thinker. He has a brain of the first order. He sits motionless, like a spider in the center of its web, but that web has a thousand radiations, and he knows well every quiver of each of them."Sir Arthur Conan DoyleThe Final Problem
Email Quote.
"I remember a mass of things, but nothing distinctly; a quarrel, but nothing wherefore. O God, that men should put an enemy in their mouths to steal away their brains!"William ShakespeareOthello
Email Quote.
It is decreed by a merciful Nature that the human brain cannot think of two things simultaneously . . .Sir Arthur Conan DoyleThe Lost World
Email Quote.
Are you conscious of the restful influence which the stars exert? To me they are the most soothing things in Nature. I am proud to say that I don't know the name of one of them. The glamour and romance would pass away from them if they were all classified and ticketed in one's brain. But when a man is hot and flurried, and full of his own little ruffled dignities and infinitesimal misfortunes, then a star bath is the finest thing in the world.Sir Arthur Conan DoyleThe Stark Munro Letters
Email Quote.
What can we know? What are we all? Poor silly half-brained things peering out at the infinite, with the aspirations of angels and the instincts of beasts.Sir Arthur Conan DoyleThe Stark Munro Letters
Email Quote.
"I consider that a man's brain originally is like a little empty attic, and you have to stock it with such furniture as you choose. A fool takes in all the lumber of every sort that he comes across, so that the knowledge which might be useful to him gets crowded out, or at best is jumbled up with a lot of other things, so that he has a difficulty in laying his hands upon it. Now the skilful workman is very careful indeed as to what he takes into his brain-attic. He will have nothing but the tools which may help him in doing his work, but of these he has a large assortment, and all in the most perfect order. It is a mistake to think that that little room has elastic walls and can distend to any extent. Depend upon it - there comes a time when for every addition of knowledge you forget something that you knew before. It is of the highest importance, therefore, not to have useless facts elbowing out the useful ones."Sir Arthur Conan DoyleA Study in Scarlet
Email Quote.
"The law will argue any thing, with any body who will pay the law for the use of its brains and its time."Wilkie CollinsMan and Wife
Email Quote.
"I cannot live without brain-work. What else is there to live for?"Sir Arthur Conan DoyleThe Sign of The Four
Email Quote.
"When you have one of the first brains of Europe up against you, and all the powers of darkness at his back, there are infinite possibilities."Sir Arthur Conan DoyleThe Valley of Fear
