“Men ought to know that from nothing else but the brain come
joys, delights, laughter, and sports, and sorrows, griefs, despondency, and
lamentations. And by this, in an
especial manner, we acquire wisdom and knowledge, and see and hear and know
what are foul and what are fair, what are bad and what are good, what are
sweet, and what are unsavory. …And by
the same organ we become mad and delirious, and fears and terrors assail us. … All these things we endure from the brain.”
-On the Sacred Disease, Hippocrates, 5th Century
BC
