The human brain.  A trillion nerve cells storing electrical patterns more numerous than the water molecules of the world’s oceans.  The soul’s tapestry lies woven in the brain’s nerve threads.  Delicate, inviolate, the brain floats serenely in a bone vault like the crown jewel of biology.

-Frank Vertosick Jr., MD, When the air hits your brain, 1996
