About this Quote

This quote by Paul Simon talks to the concept of self-perception and the power of the mind. It recommends that regardless of his physical stature, he thinks he has a premium brain. This could be taken a declaration of self-confidence in his very own knowledge and abilities, or as a commentary on the power of the mind over the body. It could also be seen as a suggestion that physical appearance is not always indicative of one's true well worth. It is a pointer that we need to not judge ourselves or others based on physical qualities, but instead on the stamina of our minds as well as the power of our concepts. Ultimately, this quote talks to the idea that we ought to not be defined by our physical characteristics, but instead by our mental capacities.
