After all my probing into the human brain, I should still be aware of mysteries and come up with them myself.

Life and consciousness are the two great mysteries. Actually, their substrates are the inanimate. And how do you get from neurons shooting around in the brain to the thought that pops up in your head and mine? There's something deeply mysterious about that. And if you're not struck by the mystery, I think you haven't thought about it.

I think we're all fascinated and a little mystified by how the brain works. One of the most mysterious of the physical sciences is neurological science.

Our minds are mysterious; our conscious brain is like a ship on a sea that is obscure to us.

The brain is the cornerstone of virtually every facet of our lives. I wish we knew more.

The human brain is probably one of the most complex single objects on the face of the earth; I think it is, quite honestly.

The adage that fact is stranger than fiction seems to be especially true for the workings of the brain.

The creative processes are so mysterious.

What I find fascinating is the idea that we all have a physical brain, but we also have this mental part, and we have to figure out how they work together.

Consciousness is what makes the mind-body problem really intractable.
