Simulating thought in general, as opposed to solving a particular, sharply defined problem, has proved considerably harder. One of the biggest obstacles has been technologists' naivete about the character of human thought, their tendency to confuse thinking with analytical problem solving. They forget that when you look out the window and let your mind wander, or fall asleep and dream, you are also thinking. They tend to overlook something that such mind-obsessed poets as Wordsworth and Coleridge understood two centuries ago: that thought is largely a process of stringing memories together, and that memories are often linked by emotion...
...stated that under Wisconsin's welfare program, "mothers must go back to work when their youngest child is 12 weeks old." Did we read that correctly? Forget about the mother's regaining her strength or ensuring her child's well-being by breast feeding; forget about the critical mother-child bonding process.

Sometimes he'll have my burgers on the grill long before I get close enough to ask for them. Only mothers and Winston always seem to make the food just right every time. Despite the heat and hard work, he is the only Harvard person I known that...
...When Jones challenged the transformation, Fortier shot back: "Of course I'm changing my language. I'm not going to sit here and curse in front of all these people." While Jones may have succeeded in casting doubts on Fortier's credibility, the jury is unlikely to forget Fortier's powerful testimony yesterday that he knew his friend had bombed the Murrah building...
