“Philosophy, art, and science are not the mental objects of an objectified brain but the three aspects under which the brain becomes subject.”
“A fool’s brain digests philosophy into folly, science into superstition, and art into pedantry. Hence University education.”
“We regard promissory materialism as superstition without a rational foundation. The more we discover about the brain, the more clearly do we distinguish between the brain events and the mental phenomena, and the more wonderful do both the brain events and the mental phenomena become. Promissory materialism is simply a religious belief held by dogmatic materialists . . . who often confuse their religion with their science.”
“Science fiction films are not about science. They are about disaster, which is one of the oldest subjects of art.”
“Never before did I realize that mental illness could have the aspect of power, power. Think of it: perhaps the more insane a man is, the more powerful he could become. Hitler an example. Fair makes the old brain reel, doesn't it?”
“The glory of science is, that it is freeing the soul -- breaking the mental manacles -- getting the brain out of bondage -- giving courage to thought -- filling the world with mercy, justice, and joy.”
