[QUOTE]
"Part of the power of modern neuroscience is not just that we now know
that mental life is neural life-that you can find evidence of neural
activity-but can interrogate the brain to find out how it makes sense,
and categorizes the world-how information is processed."

-Thomas Insel

[QUOTE]
"There is a Chinese proverb: You would jump into boiling oil, walk
through fire for the person you love, and the person you love is our
customer. We started to tell customers and show them we'd jump into
boiling oil, walk through fire, for them. It became our corporate
culture."
