Quote by Roger Willemsen

“Anstoß nimmt das publizistische Bewusstsein unserer Tage immer and den Bildern der Gewalt, nicht an der Verschriftlichung des Horrors; der Zensur unterliegen immer nur die filmischen Darstellungen des Grausamen, nicht die literarischen; gefährlich ist ein Text immer nur, wenn er politisch wird, Bilder dagegen brauchen nur drastisch zu sein. Man stellt ein Verbot auf. Es gibt in der gesamten Kulturgeschichte kein Beispiel dafür, dass ein Bilderverbot wirklich eine Demarkationslinie gegenüber den ästhetischen Ausdrucksmöglichkeiten einer Zeit hätte ziehen können.”

“I know what he was like,’ said Sebastian. McCay’s daughter made a harsh, scoffing sound in her throat. ‘Do you? Ashworth came close to ruining us. He did it as deliberately and casually as a normal person might step on a bug. Men like him, they think their wealth and lineage give them the right to do whatever they please to anyone weaker or poorer than they are. And you know why they think that way? Because it’s true — they always get away with it. Always. No one stops them. No one dares to stop them. And there’s no real way for those they harm to fight back.”

“When I started training myself in Neurobiology, Psychology and Theology, mostly on the streets of Calcutta, at the book kiosks on the sidewalk, for I had no money to buy the books, I had no academic background - no college degree - no potential for earning a decent living - I was a direction-less canoe in the open sea. I did not come from a rich or learned family, nor did I have rich friends, so, as far as everybody else was concerned, my life was doomed. I come from the humblest of origins - like did Ramanujan, like did Tesla, like did many more legendary thinkers of human history. I didn't know the rules of academia - I didn't know the laws and the norms of the scientific community - all I knew was that I had to understand the humans if I were to unite them. Other than that, I had no clue to my future. I learnt by failing - I learnt by making errors - I learnt by moving slowly but surely, and by never losing my sense of awe. And that's really what science is about - it's about naivety, curiosity and awe.”

“That day, the great mind in neuroscience Michael A. Persinger, who is now a good friend of mine, made me realize that it was no other field of Science but Neuroscience that held the key to solving the quintessential problems of consciousness. He coaxed me into the science of the neurons and the rest as you know is history. Without Persinger, Naskar and Neuroscience would never have been linked together. Imbued with new knowledge, confidence and excessive curiosity, I officially turned my attention to one of the loftiest goals of modern science - understanding the biological nature of the human mind. That day on, I officially got into the world of Neuroscience.”

“How long do you need to be exposed to an image, such as a tattoo on your body or work of art on your home or office walls, in order for it to impact you? Neuroscientists from MIT found that the brain can identify images in about 13 milliseconds. At 13 milliseconds, which is nearly ten times faster than an eye blink, your brain has already absorbed the image, even if you didn’t consciously see it with your attention focused elsewhere.”
