"Before the connection of thought and brain can be explained, it must be stated in elementary form; and there are great difficulties about stating it. … Many would find relief at this point in celebrating the mystery of the unknowable and the "awe" which we should feel. … It may be constitutional infirmity, but I can take no comfort in such devices for making a luxury of intellectual defeat. … Better live on the ragged edge, better gnaw the file forever!" (James, 1950 pp. 177–179)
