“I've become a collector of stories about unlikely returns: the sudden reappearance of the long-lost son, the father found, the lovers reunited after forty years. Once in awhile, a letter does fall behind a post office desk and lie there for years before it's finally discovered and delivered to the rightful address. The seemingly brain-dead sometimes wake up and start talking. I'm always on the lookout for proof that what is done can sometimes be undone.” YearsLongDoeSometimesDoneStoriesLyingFallFoundFatherLostBehindsBrainTalkingSonReturnLoversOfficeLettersWake UpProofPostsAddressesFortyDesksUnlikelyUndoneCollectorsPost OfficeReunitedBrain DeadOffice Desk Book:The Age of Miracles Source: The Age of Miracles

“Does religion fill a much needed gap? It is often said that there is a God-shaped gap in the brain which needs to be filled: we have a psychological need for God -- imaginary friend, father, big brother, confessor, confidant -- and the need has to be satisfied whether God really exists or not. But could it be that God clutters up a gap that we'd be better off filling with something else? Science, perhaps? Art? Human friendship? Humanism? Love of this life in the real world, giving no credence to other lives beyond the grave?” WorldNeedsGivingHumansDoeArtSaidRealBigsReligionFatherBrainBrotherNeededFilledHumanismGravesSatisfiedPsychologicalThis LifeGapsReal WorldImaginaryBetter OffFillingClutterCredenceImaginary FriendConfidantPsychological Needs Author:Richard Dawkins

“It was a dagger in the haughty father's heart, an arrow in his brain, to see how the flesh and blood he could not disown clung to this obscure stranger, and he sitting by. Not that he cared to whom his daughter turned, or from whom turned away. The swift sharp agony struck through him, as he thought of what his son might do.” HeartCharacterMightFatherInterestingBrainBloodSonDaughterSittingStrangerFleshAgonyObscureArrowsFlesh And BloodDaggersInteresting CharactersHaughty Book:Dombey and Son ...

“Ladies and gentlemen, today we're here to honor electricity, the charge that charges everything from those electrons snapping in our brain to our father the sun. What's the sun It's kind of like a brain. Electromagnetic field, solar flares sparking back and forth from those nerve cells. We're all one, folks, giant blobs of electricity, all of us. Positive & negative, electromagnetic fields just circling each other. Positive, negative, north, south, male and female. Looking for that electric moment.
