Great quote for the day from "Poppy" by Hope Henderson:

Most of all, I didn’t want to learn what the brain did: if I knew where it all came from, thoughts and movement, memory and math and dreams and speech and even love, then I would know, really know, that a human was just mud, briefly shot through with lightning and then extinguished back into the earth.
