When brains get sufficiently big, presumably, as human brains have, consciousness seems to emerge. – Richard Dawkins
Our brains have this habit of quilting dreams from the fabrics of our lives. As a filmmaker, I get to do it for a living. – Peter Landesman
Our brains are continuing to evolve, and perhaps a few tens of thousands of years from now, our descendants will walk around with five pound brains, allowing them insights that we can’t imagine. – Seth Shostak
Before the Human Genome Project, most scientists assumed, based on our complex brains and behaviors, that humans must have around 100,000 genes; some estimates went as high as 150,000. – Sam Kean
Our evolution could have gone in different directions a lot of times. We could have gone extinct at some points. We might not have gotten our big brains, or Neanderthals might have made it while we did not. – Sam Kean
There is no physical law precluding particles from being organised in ways that perform even more advanced computations than the arrangements of particles in human brains. – Stephen Hawking
I’d have liked to have been a bit more intellectual. I’d have liked to have had more brains. – Terry Wogan
We must develop as quickly as possible technologies that make possible a direct connection between brain and computer, so that artificial brains contribute to human intelligence rather than opposing it. – Stephen Hawking
It may well be our brains are wired up to be slightly more optimistic than they should be. – Vilayanur S. Ramachandran
Anyone who doesn’t regret the passing of the Soviet Union has no heart. Anyone who wants it restored has no brains. – Vladimir Putin
