Iain McGilchrist
“The model we choose to use to understand something determines what we find.”
Iain McGilchrist, The Master and His Emissary: The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World

Nani Palkhivala
“To my countrymen
who gave unto themselves the constitution but not the ability to keep it,who inherited resplendent heritage but not the wisdom to cherish it,who suffer and endure in pain without the perception of their potential.”
Nani Palkhiwala, We, The People: India, the largest Democracy

Jean-Luc Godard
“He who jumps into the void owes no explanation to those who stand and watch.”
Jean-Luc Godard

Iain McGilchrist
“Although relatively speaking the right hemisphere takes a more pessimistic view of the self, it is also more realistic about it.457 There is evidence that (a) those who are somewhat depressed are more realistic, including in self-evaluation; and, see above, that (b) depression is (often) a condition of relative hemisphere asymmetry, favouring the right hemisphere.458 Even schizophrenics have more insight into their condition in proportion to the degree that they have depressive symptoms.459 The evidence is that this is not because insight makes you depressed, but because being depressed gives you insight.”
Iain McGilchrist, The Master and His Emissary: The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World

Iain McGilchrist
“Emotion is inseparable from the body in which it is felt, and emotion is also the basis for our engagement with the world.”
Iain McGilchrist, The Master and His Emissary: The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World
