Asking where memory is "located" in the brain is like asking where running is located in the body.

Are we to conclude, then, that running is located in the corn on your toe? — Ian Neath

The French influence was heavy in Algiers, as if the air above the water had carried as much ambience as it could across to the little neighborhood. There were more dilapidated buildings in the community, but Jackson and Buddy passed homes with completely manicured properties, too, and wild ferns growing out of baskets on the porches, as if they were a part of the architecture.

The community almost had the look of an ailing beach town on some forgotten coast. — Hunter Murphy

He didn't want to be great, but be thought great. He didn't want to build, but to be admired as a builder. He borrowed from other in order to make an impression on others. It's his ego that he's betrayed and given up. — Ayn Rand
