Inside skull vast as outside skull

Allen Ginsberg

Scarily, football helmets, which do a fine job of protecting against scalp laceration and skull fracture, do little to prevent concussions and may even exacerbate them, since even as the brain is rattling around inside the skull, the head is rattling around inside the helmet.

Jeffrey Kluger

We control matter because we control the mind. Reality is inside the skull.

George Orwell

The brain is suspended in a kind of thick jelly inside the skull, and a helmet can't keep it from sloshing around. If you hit your head hard enough, the brain goes bashing against the walls of the skull.

Jeanne Marie Laskas

The destiny of every human being is decided by what goes on inside his skull when confronted by what goes on outside his skull.

Eric Berne

The inner censor of the mind of the true believer completes the work of the public censor; his self-discipline is as tyrannical as the obedience imposed by the regime; he terrorizes his own conscience into submission;he carries his private Iron Curtain inside his skull, to protect his illusions against the intrusion of reality.

Arthur Koestler

Now panic beats and flutters inside my skull like a flock of starlings locked in an attic.

Stephen King

The brain sits snugly inside the skull, but it's not a completely flush fit - there is still a layer of fluid between bone and soft tissue that serves as a natural shock absorber. Some shocks, however, can't be absorbed, and when the head gets clobbered too hard, the brain can twist or torque or rattle around inside its skeletal casing.

Jeffrey Kluger

I had hardly expected so dolichocephalic a skull or such well-marked supra-orbital development. Would you have any objection to my running my finger along your parietal fissure? A cast of your skull, sir, until the original is available, would be an ornament to any anthropological museum. It is not my intention to be fulsome, but I confess that I covet your skull.

Arthur Conan Doyle

Internal mental experience is not the product of a photographic process. Internal reality is in fact constructed by the brain as it interacts with the environment in the present, in the context of its past experiences and expectancies of the future. At the level of perceptual categorizations, we have reached a land of mental representations quite distant from the layers of the world just inches away from their place inside the skull. This is the reason why each of us experiences a unique way of minding the world. (pp. 166-167)

Daniel J. Siegel

Nothing was your own except the few cubic centimetres inside your skull.

George Orwell

Each reader projects their own version of the experience inside their skull as they go along. It's probably true that no two people read exactly the same book.

Katherine Dunn

No one is born just once. If you're lucky, you'll emerge again in someone's arms; or unlucky, wake when the long tail of terror brushes the inside of your skull.

Anne Michaels

Her mind is a bird that's trapped inside her skull, flapping and thrashing, never breaking free.

Lauren DeStefano

I was six years old when my parents told me that there was a small, dark jewel inside my skull, learning to be me.

Greg Egan

When you were straight, evil thoughts and memories came pouring up out of the darkness inside you; buzzing black flies clinging to the insides of your skull.

J. K. Rowling
