Pain screams its way into our consciousness, blotting out everything else. The blinding sear of stubbing one’s toe, cracking one’s head, or cutting your finger, elbows all other sensations and senses out of the way, demanding immediate attention and action."-Guy Leschziner, The Man Who Tasted Words: A Neurologist Explores the Strange and Startling World of Our Senses
