Famous quotes containing the word edelman:
“The analogy between the mind and a computer fails for many reasons. The brain is constructed by principles that assure diversity and degeneracy. Unlike a computer, it has no replicative memory. It is historical and value driven. It forms categories by internal criteria and by constraints acting at many scales, not by means of a syntactically constructed program. The world with which the brain interacts is not unequivocally made up of classical categories.”
—Gerald M. Edelman (b. 1928)
“You must put fear out of your mind. Confront it with the belief that the past is over with, that a new life lies ahead.”
—Edward T. Lowe. Erle C. Kenton. Dr. Edelman (Onslow Stevens)
“You didn’t have a choice about the parents you inherited, but you do have a choice about the kind of parent you will be.”
—Marian Wright Edelman (20th century)
