Do you have a citation for this, Rayaan. To the best of my knowledge it doesn't occur in the Tao Te Ching. (I've read the Tao Te Ching more times than I can count and it doesn't ring any bells. Searching a favorite translation on the words past, present, and future doesn't yield anything relevant either.) Are you sure this is a quote of Lao Tzu?

RE: Daily quotes

Quote:
"Men ought to know that from nothing else but the brain come joys, delights, laughter and sports, and sorrows, griefs, despondency, and lamentations. And by this, in an especial manner, we acquire wisdom and knowledge, and see and hear, and know what are foul and what are fair, what are bad and what are good, what are sweet, and what unsavory; some we discriminate by habit, and some we perceive by their utility. By this we distinguish objects of relish and disrelish, according to the seasons; and the same things do not always please us. And by the same organ we become mad and delirious, and fears and terrors assail us, some by night, and some by day, and dreams and untimely wanderings, and cares that are not suitable, and ignorance of present circumstances, desuetude, and unskilfulness. All these things we endure from the brain..."

— On The Sacred Disease, Hippocratic Corpus, attribution uncertain, 400 BCE

I am not sure, but I saw that in a different forum and I also googled the quote and then I found many sites which show that it was a quote of Lao Tzu.

“Recognize that the very molecules that make up your body, the atoms that construct the molecules, are traceable to the crucibles that were once the centers of high mass stars that exploded their chemically rich guts into the galaxy, enriching pristine gas clouds with the chemistry of life. So that we are all connected to each other biologically, to the earth chemically and to the rest of the universe atomically. That’s kinda cool! That makes me smile and I actually feel quite large at the end of that. It’s not that we are better than the universe, we are part of the universe. We are in the universe and the universe is in us.”
― Neil deGrasse Tyson
