The so-called higher faculties, such as thought and will, have been related to central or cortical processes of the nervous system, processes of connection and complication which within the brain itself supplement the impulses and sensations Congenitally and externally stimulated.
"The Approach to Philosophy"
Ralph Barton Perry
The wealth of fantastic imagery which he used to such purpose not infrequently stimulated him to a disorderly profusion of grotesque; he was Congenitally melodramatic; and before very long his habit of attributing special catch-words, gestures, and the like to his characters, exaggerated, degenerated, and stereotyped itself in a fashion which it is difficult to think satisfactory to anybody.
"The English Novel"
George Saintsbury
They needs must love the highest when they see it, but they are Congenitally incapable of describing it correctly.
"An Ocean Tramp"
William McFee
