Mind is not simply the collection of aggregate cells inside your brain. If you are only the grey matter, then when that dies, you won't exist any more. It's not that easy. You exist forever. ~ Frederick Lenz
Grey Matter quotes by Frederick Lenz
Conscience renders one as unfit for the revolution as a double chin. Conscience eats through the brain like a cancer, until the whole of the grey matter is devoured. ~ Arthur Koestler
Grey Matter quotes by Arthur Koestler
Frankly I don't listen to lyrics (a problem in that I apparently work in musical theatre) I just want a good tune that doesn't require the use of too much grey matter. ~ Christian Campbell
Grey Matter quotes by Christian Campbell
But then everybody says that, though you have a brain like a peahen, you're the soul of kindness and generosity.'
Well, I was handicapped here by the fact that, never having met a peahen, I was unable to estimate the quality of these fowls' intelligence, but she had spoken as if they were a bit short of the grey matter, and I was about the ask her who the hell she meant by 'everybody', when she resumed. ~ P.G. Wodehouse
Grey Matter quotes by P.G. Wodehouse
What Matters!! Is Grey Matter! ~ Vijaya Raje Lakshmi
Grey Matter quotes by Vijaya Raje Lakshmi
I do the 'New York Times' crossword puzzle every morning to keep the old grey matter ticking. ~ Carol Burnett
Grey Matter quotes by Carol Burnett
His one-eight feels a whole lot bigger when I spend time hanging around in his grey matter. ~ Neal Shusterman
Grey Matter quotes by Neal Shusterman
Sounds like a jolly good adventure – rather frightening too, I must say. Fortunate that I was tootling past, say what? Come now, you must be in a bit of a fix. Why don't you hop aboard and I'll take you back to Lucille in a jiffy and we'll have a cuppa and a meeting of the old grey matter, what!"

Donald shuffled next to Ralph's side. Out of the corner of his mouth, he whispered: "What's he saying? ~ Ness Kingsley
Grey Matter quotes by Ness Kingsley
What do you think my brain is made for?
Is it just a container for the mind?
This great grey matter,
Sensei replied what is your woman,
Is she just a container for the child?
That soft pink matter ~ Frank Ocean
Grey Matter quotes by Frank Ocean
On your 60th, here's something philosophical
To give the old grey matter a stir
How old would you be
If you didn't know how old you were? ~ John Walter Bratton
Grey Matter quotes by John Walter Bratton
A perkier bit at the beginning of a Three Stooges comedy, Restless Knights (February 20, 1935), has Brennan playing their father, decked out in a large night cap and a fake white beard, lying on his deathbed calling for his sons. He confesses in tremolo that they are of royal blood: "Years ago I was the royal chamberlain of the Kingdom of Anesthesia." Now, he urges them to offer their swords in service of their imperiled queen. The quality of the writing is best exemplified in Brennan's telling Curly that his title is "Baron of Grey Matter." Brennan then says, "Come close my sons so that I may bless you," and rises enough to give them a sweeping triple slap, as the light fades on his 120-second part in this sixteen minute short. ~ Carl Rollyson
Grey Matter quotes by Carl Rollyson
Already he [humanity] is physically antique in this robot world he has created. All that sustains him is that small globe of grey matter through which spin his ever-changing conceptions of the universe. ~ Loren Eiseley
Grey Matter quotes by Loren Eiseley
Intuition was not just visual but also auditory and kinesthetic. Those who watched Feynman in moments of intense concentration came away with a strong, even disturbing sense of the physicality of the process, as though his brain did not stop with the grey matter but extended through every muscle in his body. ~ James Gleick
Grey Matter quotes by James Gleick
I got incredibly heavy boots about how relatively insignificant life is, and how, compared to the universe and compared to time, it didn't even matter if I existed at all. ~ Jonathan Safran Foer
Grey Matter quotes by Jonathan Safran Foer
This is how my day usually goes.
I leave the faucet open and know what it's like
to have my fingers around a minuscule whirlpool,
and I cry, hoping if I do it for hours
the water will end up tasting like the ocean,
just so I could get myself half-drowning.
I don't know how to float on water.
This is the closest thing I will ever get to breathing
without forcing my lungs to turn into a garbage truck,
or a car alarm, or anything that can get my neighbors
out of their doors. Maybe if I blink my eyes
as fast as I can, I will end up having lightning
for tears because that's how much they hurt.
There is the constant banging on my door.
On my bedside table is an empty mug
that was once made with everything close
to tasting like beautiful and patient and calm.
And I am not. I am stepping on my own leash.
my skin has purple circles, my eyes has been spending
too many hours pretending to be an Olympic pool,
when it's too little to even be a sink. Last night,
I realized, the tap water will never taste like tears,
no matter how many hours I spent bending.
The banging on my bedroom door will never stop.
I wonder how long I can keep this up until I remember
that there's always a limit to pain, and none to love. ~ Kharla M. Brillo
Grey Matter quotes by Kharla M. Brillo
You were wrong," she told Paul, because he had been a pedantic asshole who thought he was right about everything. "You said I would be dead in a gutter by now. You said I was worthless. You said that no one would believe me because I didn't matter. ~ Karin Slaughter
Grey Matter quotes by Karin Slaughter
The double-headed eagle that serves the Russian Empire as its crest illustrates quite magnificently the entire system of government of that country, where any matter of even the slightest importance is not entrusted to a single authority but at least two, ~ Boris Akunin
Grey Matter quotes by Boris Akunin
Delicious baked goods were the great work hostility equalizer, no matter how unorthodox the workplace. ~ Molly Harper
Grey Matter quotes by Molly Harper
Once upon a time, each of us was somebody's kid.
Everyone had a father, even if he never provided anything more than his seed.
Everyone had a mother, even if she had to leave us on a stranger's doorstep.
No matter how we're eventually raised, all of our stories begin the exact same way.
They all end the same, too. ~ Brian K. Vaughan
Grey Matter quotes by Brian K. Vaughan
I don't like swearing on the air. As a matter of fact, I'm not a prude, but ... I watch HBO and some of the comedy stuff, and I'm constantly asking myself, 'Why have we gone there?' It seems like it's unfortunate. It's so cheap. It's so easy. ~ Brian Lamb
Grey Matter quotes by Brian Lamb
To paraphrase Forrest Gump, Ugly is, as Ugly does! ~ Lorene Stunson Hill
Grey Matter quotes by Lorene Stunson Hill
When one acts on pity against justice, it is the good whom one punishes for the sake of the evil; when one saves the guilty from suffering, it is the innocent whom one forces to suffer. There is no escape from justice, nothing can be unearned and unpaid for in the universe, neither in matter nor in spirit - and if the guilty do not pay, then the innocent have to pay it. ~ Ayn Rand
Grey Matter quotes by Ayn Rand
No matter how many people celebrate your gifts, don't ever think that you are more important to them than your gift is to them. This is why many people fail: They fail because they think that people came to follow them. ~ Myles Munroe
Grey Matter quotes by Myles Munroe
When difficulties seem insurmountable, optimists react in a more constructive and creative way. They accept the facts with realism, know how to rapidly identify the positive in adversity, draw lessons from it, and come up with an alternative solution or turn to a new project. Pessimists would rather turn away from the problem or adopt escapist strategies - sleep, isolation, drug or alcohol abuse - that diminish their focus on the problem.9 Instead of confronting them with resolve, they prefer to brood over their misfortunes, nurture illusions, dream up "magic" solutions, and accuse the whole world of being against them. They have a hard time drawing lessons from the past, which often leads to the repetition of their problems. They are more fatalistic ("I told you it wouldn't work. It's always the same, no matter what I do") and are quick to see themselves as "mere pawns in the game of life. ~ Matthieu Ricard
Grey Matter quotes by Matthieu Ricard
When God gives us a vision, we must transact business with Him at that point, no matter what the cost. ~ Oswald Chambers
Grey Matter quotes by Oswald Chambers
What I need is a search engine that, no matter what I type in, comes back with GO BACK TO WORK. ~ Dave Barry
Grey Matter quotes by Dave Barry
I think it's always difficult no matter how similar your characters are to yourself to get into that mindset, because however much they are similar to you, they're not you. ~ Asa Butterfield
Grey Matter quotes by Asa Butterfield
Some women are meant to change the world, while others are meant to hold it together. And then there are those of us who simply don't want to be in it, because we know no matter how much we struggle, we can't comfortably fit. ~ Jodi Picoult
Grey Matter quotes by Jodi Picoult
I prayed for twenty years. Nothing happened until I got off my knees and started marching with my feet. ~ Jay Coles
Grey Matter quotes by Jay Coles
I promised myself that no matter where I went, what I did, I'd never take anything for granted again. ~ Nora Roberts
Grey Matter quotes by Nora Roberts
It didn't matter whether "football" for you was soccer or the American sport played by men in helmets. ~ Neal Stephenson
Grey Matter quotes by Neal Stephenson
The true free-will ain't a matter of choosing one of many choices ...
but of creating variety of options, then deciding the best choice of all. ~ Toba Beta
Grey Matter quotes by Toba Beta
I'm not holding out a whole lot of hope for you," she snapped. "And quit calling me that. I liked it when I thought you loved me, but I'm not particularly fond of your endearments right now. Or you, for that matter. ~ Shannon MacLeod
Grey Matter quotes by Shannon MacLeod
It was the dawn of a new day that Birdie prized. It was God's little reminder that no matter how dark the night, the sun always rises. ~ Lisa Unger
Grey Matter quotes by Lisa Unger
I can't tell you what to do, Ishmael. I've tried to understand what it's been like for you - having gone to war, having lost your arm, not having married or had children. I've tried to make sense of it all, believe me, I have - how it must feel to be you. But I must confess that, no matter how I try, I can't really understand you. There are other boys, after all, who went to war and came back home and pushed on with their lives. They found girls and married and had children and raised families despite whatever was behind them. But you - you went numb, Ishmael. And you've stayed numb all these years. ~ David Guterson
Grey Matter quotes by David Guterson
Now, what is forbidden to the summoner, or any wizard, is to call a living spirit. We can call to them, yes. We can send to them a voice or a presentment, a seeming, of ourself. But we do not summon them, in spirit or in flesh, to come to us. Only the dead may we summon. Only the shadows. You can see why this must be. To summon a living man is to have entire power over him, body and mind. No one, no matter how strong or wise or great, can rightly own and use another. ~ Ursula K. Le Guin
Grey Matter quotes by Ursula K. Le Guin
We are immortal beings, Thristan. You cannot hate me throughout all eternity. ~ Madison Thorne Grey
Grey Matter quotes by Madison Thorne Grey
There is always something new to discover every day, no matter how skilled you are. ~ Rin Chupeco
Grey Matter quotes by Rin Chupeco
The titles are born, worn, discarded, forgotten, and none of them matter. ~ George R R Martin
Grey Matter quotes by George R R Martin
We have taken the manatees out of the areas in the Caribbean and really elsewhere in the world, and this disruption to the system makes such systems vulnerable to changes as they come by, whether it's in terms of disease or terms or global warming for that matter. ~ Sylvia Earle
Grey Matter quotes by Sylvia Earle
It's not that he was flirting, unless flirting was just about wanting to really see someone. People thought that someone like him - good-looking, young, cool clothes - was going to be dismissive, and when he wasn't, when he was just easy and open with them, they glowed. It was a feeling he tried to re-create a hundred times a day, in every interaction. It also calmed him. If he looked at someone and they looked at him and there was a true connection, no matter how brief, then it meant that he didn't need to replay the encounter anxiously afterwards, trying to find where it had all gone wrong. ~ Jade Chang
Grey Matter quotes by Jade Chang
If it isn't going to matter to you in 5 years, quit stressing about it. (Also, quit b*tching about it. It might matter when you're all alone in 5 yrs because you're annoying now.) ~ Ingrid Weir
Grey Matter quotes by Ingrid Weir
No matter what Aristotle and the Philosophers say, nothing is equal to tobacco; it's the passion of the well-bred, and he who lives without tobacco lives a life not worth living. ~ Moliere
Grey Matter quotes by Moliere
I don't make movies. I don't feel that I have to have artistic control. Part of this comes from the fact that the book lives on no matter what Hollywood does to your novel in terms of a film. Now, you try to be careful who you allow to do your film because nobody wants their novel to become a turkey movie. But, on the other hand, it is a crapshot anyway, because even the best people can make a bad film. ~ Stephen King
Grey Matter quotes by Stephen King
Sensuality isn't worth a hair more than spirituality, and it's the same the other way around. It's all one, everything is equally good. Whether you embrace a woman or make a poem, it's the same. So long as the main thing is there, the love, the burning, the emotion, it doesn't matter whether you are a monk on Mount Athos or a man about town in Paris. ~ Hermann Hesse
Grey Matter quotes by Hermann Hesse
