“Individuality is deeply imbued in us from the very start, at the neuronal level. Even at a motor level, researchers have shown, an infant does not follow a set pattern of learning to walk or how to reach for something. Each baby experiments with different ways of reaching for objects and over the course of several months discovers or selects his own motor solutions. When we try to envisage the neural basis of such individual learning, we might imagine a “population” of movements (and their neural correlates) being strengthened or pruned away by experience.

“Where’s everybody? I thought you had started production.” “They’ve got a day off, but don’t worry you’ll see the machinery is here.” But Brown was worried. As they entered the canteen, the lights came on automatically. There was nobody there. “What’s going…...” but he never finished the sentence. Brown felt a sharp pain on the side of his head and everything went black.”

“I dislike this quiet. They are better equipped, and they know the terrain well. We are vulnerable. Only our bravado and our deep understanding of the criminal minds can save us.”

“The people at the center of these stories of power couples mostly choose to see their own motives as selfless. In Elizabeth Edwards’ autobiography Resilience, she wrote of her marriage to John, U.S. senator from North Carolina, ‘We were lovers, life companions, crusaders, side by side, for a vision of what the country could be.’ When she found out he was cheating on her, the crusading together became ‘the glue’ that kept them together. ‘I grabbed hold of it. I needed to,’ Edwards wrote. ‘Although I no longer knew what I could trust between the two of us, I knew I could trust in our work together.’ She wanted ‘an intact family fighting for causes more important than any one of us.”
