Francis Crick

It is essential to understand our brains in some detail if we are to assess correctly our place in this vast and complicated universe we see all around us.

The brain is a machine assembled not to understand itself, but to survive.

The search for truth is a cooperative enterprise.

The history of science is full of ideas that were considered absurd when first proposed.

There is no scientific study more vital to man than the study of his own brain. Our entire view of the universe depends on it.

The real mystery is how the brain produces consciousness, not whether it does.
