I always liked this one:


	Imagine activity ... shown by little points of light. The head-mass (brain) becomes 
an enchanted loom where millions of flashing shuttles weave a dissolving pattern, always 
a meaningful pattern though never an abiding one; a shifting harmony of subpatterns. ... 
Dissolving pattern after dissolving pattern will, the long day through, without remission 
melt into and succeed each other....
								(Sherrington 1940)

        And what is more, I agree with everything I have just said.
