Brain: an apparatus with which we think we think.

Summary

This quote playfully suggests that the brain is not only responsible for our thoughts, but also for our awareness of our own thinking process. It highlights the capacity of the brain to perceive and observe our thoughts, essentially recognizing that it is through the brain that we are able to reflect on and comprehend our own thinking. The quote subtly implies that the brain is a complex and intricate mechanism, intriguingly self-aware of its own capabilities.
