Maybe the human brain is an object beyond the reach of metaphor, for the simple reason that it is the only object capable of creating metaphors to describe itself. There really is nothing else like it. The human brain creates the human mind, and then the human mind tries to underhand the human brain, however long it takes and whatever the cost.Luke Dittrich
About This Quote
The human brain is the only object that can create metaphors to describe itself. Think about it for a minute, what does the human brain do? It thinks. The human mind is an object created by the human brain and the human mind tries to underhand its creator. However, without the help of the human brain, no one would be able to think. And, if you are thinking right now, you are obviously using your brain.
