Quote by Joseph Dietzgen

“Denken ist eine Funktion des Gehirns wie Gehen eine Funktion der Beine. Sowenig nun die Anatomie der Beine mit der Frage: was heißt gehen, sowenig hat die Anatomie des Gehirns mit der Frage zu tun, was heißt Denken.”

There were some thoughts - such as a memory of running under the pouring rain, and how it felt - that I couldn’t even begin to put into words … Yet their image was clear in my mind. And there were other things that I could describe in words but were otherwise impossible to visualize: black light, my mother’s death, infinity.”
