->What the hell ''is it'' about brains? We learn about them in health class, along with all the other organs that slosh around inside us. As a lifelong horror fan, I've seen a ''lot'' of innards tossed around, and they do rank on a kind of ''ooky''-ometer: kidneys get sort of an ''eh'', intestines a ''eew'', hearts an ''eeeEEEEeeewww!'' (especially if still beating) and the liver a ''do they really jiggle that much''? But ''nothing'' beats the superstitious dread summoned up by the brain. While all the other organs seem slimy, the brain seems sorta gooey; the others smooth and honest and proletarian, the brain all crinkly and duplicitous and ''alien''. Perhaps it is the brain's function as receptacle of what is qualifiably ''us'', possibly the very seat of our souls, that gives the brain this mythic power; place a brain on a table in the center of a room and just stare at it - yeah, right, it may be dead, but there's always a niggling little voice in the back of your head that's pretty sure it's ''still thinking. Probably about'' '''''you'''''.

->When a B'Omarr monk reaches the stage of final enlightenment, he has no further use for his body, his eyes, his ears, his senses. Nothing at all.
