    —Marian Edelman Borden (20th century)

    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)

    I’m a good woman for a bad man.
    —Alexander Hall. Cleo Borden (Mae West)
