Before brains the universe was free of pain and anxiety.

"Prior to the advent of brain, there was no color and no sound in the universe, nor was there any flavor or aroma and probably little sense and no feeling or emotion. Before brains the universe was also free of pain and anxiety."

—Roger Sperry, "Changing Priorities," Annual Review of Neuroscience 4 (1981): 1-15.
