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)
