Emotional Memory Centers

The most important tribute any human being can pay to a poem or a piece of prose he or she really loves is to learn it by heart. Not by brain, by heart; the expression is vital.

- George Steiner (1929–2020)

Inspired by George Steiner (1929–2020)’s quote, “The most important tribute any human being can pay to a poem or a piece of prose he or she really loves is to learn it by heart. Not by brain, by heart; the expression is vital. “. The titled responsion is “Consciousness — A Felt Experience — Courtesy of Damasio”. What follows is subject to revision, do you have any suggestions?

This graduated role reversal of humility is an act worth thinking about. Revolutions take place despite our preoccupation with initiation. As the world turns, living is perpetual, limited to our species in language only.
