In this X-mas,
In the daytime if sun shine so shall Ur expectations come true,
At night when moon comes out so shall you receive blesses,
then if rain fall so shall it going to carry all your problem away from you!

"Kingsley spoke slowly,

'As far as I am aware, these events can be explained very simply on one hypothesis, but I warn you it's an entirely preposterous hypothesis.'"

From Fred Hoyle, The Black Cloud

"To make a new beginning, one must go back to the beginning."

Charles Sherrington

I think that regarding the enigma of consciousness that if we go back to the beginning, and then go back to the beginning yet again, then and only then will much understanding be forthcoming. 

How many on this site credit or privilege James Papez (said Papes) theory (anatomical) theory of emotion? Papez remarkable paper was publsished in 1937.

See, Papez JW. 1937. A proposed mechanism of emotion. 1937.

From Papez!

". . . it is proposed that the hypothalamus, the anterior thalamic nuclei, the gyrus cinguli, the hippocampus and their interconnections constitute a harmonious mechanism which may elaborate the functions of central emtotion, as well as participate in emotional expression. . ."

Archives of Neurology and Psychiatry, 38, 725-743. 1937

I particularly like Quines quote. It has an air of, or gestures strongly to, Godel's Incompleteness theory?

"We cannot go right on with the psychology, nor with the anatomy, nor with the pathology of our subject, we must consider now one and now the other, endeavoring to trace a corresopndence betwixt them."

Hughlings Jackson

"Analyze theory building how we will, we all must start in the middle. Our conceptual firsts are middle-sized, middle-distanced objects, and our introduction to them and to everything comes midway in in the cultural evoluation of the race . . . Retrospectively we may distinguish the components of theory building as we ditnquish the protens and carbothydates while subsisting on them."

Willard Van Orman Quine
