Epilepsy Quotes

• I want people with epilepsy to know that there are ways in which they can play a role in their own recovery. It's all in how they approach what is happening and how they can use that as a catalyst for their own growth. If there's one thing that I've learned, it's that people are willing to embrace you if you share your story.

• I am very glad there are quite a number of people born with a gift and a liking for all of this; like great chessplayers who play sixteen games at once blindfold and die quite soon of epilepsy. Serve them right! I hope the Mathematicians, however, are well rewarded. I promise never to blackleg their profession nor take the bread out of their mouths.

• I think the definition will change as we learn more, but my working definition of solving the brain is: one, we can model, maybe in a computer, the processes that generate things like thoughts and feelings, and two, we can understand how to cure brain disorders, like Alzheimer's and epilepsy. Those are my two driving goals. One is more human-condition oriented, and one more clinical.

• ...Pero era un buen casero. Cuando mi calefacción dejó de funcionar a mediados de diciembre, sólo tardó dos semanas en arreglarla. Por supuesto, tuve que llamar a su puerta necesitando un lugar caliente donde dormir para conseguirlo, pero una noche en su sofá, donde de repente había desarrollado terrores nocturnos y epilepsia, y ese cachorro funcionaba como un Mercedes al día siguiente. Fue increíble.

• If an epileptic seizure is focused in a particular sweet spot in the temporal lobe, a person won´t have motor seizures, but instead something more subtle. The effect is something like a cognitive seizure, marked by changes of personality, hyperreligiosity (an obsession with religion and feelings of religious certainity), hypergraphia (extensive writing on a subject, usually about religion), the false sense of an external presence, and, often, the hearing voices that are attributed to a god. Some fraction of history´s prophets, martyrs, and leaders appear to have had temporal lobe epilepsy.

• You take somebody - one person has definitely got autism, you got another person that maybe has some of those traits and maybe there's some anxiety, depression, some epilepsy or something in the family history. Put them together, you're more likely to have a severely autistic kid than if you don't have any neurological problems in the family history.

• By all means, there should be no children when either mother or father suffers from such diseases as tuberculosis, gonorrhea, syphilis, cancer, epilepsy, insanity, drunkenness and mental disorders.

• La teoría de la perfección ya alcanzada de Dios nos obliga a hacer de Él tanto un demonio como un dios, debido a la existencia del mal. El dios del amor, si es omnipotente y omnisciente, debe ser también el dios del cáncer y la epilepsia..... Quien admita que todo lo vivo es malo debe creer que Dios es malignamente capaz de crear el mal, o bien creer que Dios ha cometido muchos errores en sus intentos de hacer un ser perfecto.
