It's just Me... Men ought to know that from nothing else but the brain comes joys, delights, laughter and sports, and sorrows, griefs, despondency, and lamentations. And by this, in a especial manner, we aquire wisdom and knowledge, and see and hear and know what are foul and what are fair, what are bad and what are good, what are sweet and what are unsavory.... And by the same organ we become mad and delerious, and fears and terrors assail us.... All these things we endure from the brain when it is not healthy.... In these ways I am of the opinion that the brain exercises the greatest power in man. -
Hippocrates, On the Sacred Disease (Fourth century B.C.)
