Hippocrates: Brain

“Men ought to know that from the brain   and from the brain only arise our pleasures, joys, laughter, and jests as well as our sorrows, pains, griefs and  tears. … It is the same thing which makes us mad or delirious, inspires us with dread and fear, whether by night  or by day, brings us sleeplessness, inopportune mistakes, aimless anxieties, absent-mindedness and acts  that are contrary to habit…”

—Hippocrates (c. 460-c. 377 B.C.), The Sacred Disease.
