The fact is that the other organ which we call the brain, the one with which we came into the world, the one which we transport around in our head and which transports us so that we can transport it, has only ever had very general, vague, diffuse and, above all, unimaginative ideas about what the hands and fingers should do. For example, if the brain-in-our-head suddenly gets an idea for a painting, a sculpture, a piece of music or literature, or a clay figurine, it simply sends a signal to that effect and then waits to see what will happen”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "José Saramago" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/jos-saramago/indeed-very-few-people-are-aware-that-in-each-of-our-fingers-located/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/3e0/jos-saramago-208_brain_indeed-very-few-people-are-aware-that-in_1308192.png", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/3e0/jos-saramago-208_brain_indeed-very-few-people-are-aware-that-in_1308192.png", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/3e0/jos-saramago-208_brain_indeed-very-few-people-are-aware-that-in_1308192.png", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Indeed, very few people are aware that in each of our fingers, located somewhere between the first phalange…” — José Saramago", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "“A particularly significant example of brain against body, or measures against matter, is urban man’s total slavery to clocks. A clock is a convenient device for arranging to meet a friend, or for helping people to do things together, although things of this kind happened long before they were invented. Clocks should not be smashed; they should simply be kept in their place. And they are very much out of place when we try to adapt our biological rhythms of eating, sleeping, evacuation, working, and relaxing to their uniform circular rotation. Our slavery to these mechanical drill masters has gone so far and our whole culture is so involved with it that reform is a forlorn hope; without them civilization would collapse entirely. A less brainy culture would learn to synchronize its body rhythms rather than its clocks.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Alan Wilson Watts" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/alan-wilson-watts/a-particularly-significant-example-of-brain-against-body-or-measures/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/ce4/alan-wilson-watts-4665_helping-people_a-particularly-significant-example-of-br_1738415.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/ce4/alan-wilson-watts-4665_helping-people_a-particularly-significant-example-of-br_1738415.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/ce4/alan-wilson-watts-4665_helping-people_a-particularly-significant-example-of-br_1738415.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“A particularly significant example of brain against body, or measures against matter, is urban man’s total…” — Alan Wilson Watts", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/example-brain/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/example-brain/", "name": "Example Brain Quotes", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/example-brain/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/3e0/jos-saramago-208_brain_indeed-very-few-people-are-aware-that-in_1308192.png" }, "description": "Browse 2 Example Brain quotes by 2 authors.
