Famous quotes containing the words smart and/or brain:
“I thought I seen some mean little gals in my time, but you’re the meanest. You want to know how I know how mean you are? ‘Cause I’m mean. I’m smart and I’m mean. And you’re smart and you’re mean. And you never get caught and I never get caught.”
—John Lee Mahin (1902–1984)
“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)
