"I've always been fascinated by the human body; how it works, especially the brain. The brain is the most extraordinary organ. And when you see one, it's just meat, offal like the rest of our corporeal form. And yet, what the brain does in one day, in one hour, in one second... right now. Everything you see, hear, think, feel, desire in any one moment is all processed and retained in this one lump of stuff inside the skull-- your skull, my skull. You think about it. Isn't it exciting that we can think at all? The brain of even the smallest animal is ridiculously sophisticated, but the human brain..." She sighs, "We have language. We invent. We analyze. We build cathedrals and cities and society. We write music and poetry. We fall in love. Aren't we lucky to be alive-- to have life? Isn't every tiny moment an inexplicable delight, packed with potential?"
