"Consciousness begins when brains acquire the power, the simple power I must add, of telling a story without words, the story that there is life ticking away in an organism, and that the states of the living organism, within body bounds, are continuously being altered by encounters with objects or events in its environment, or, for that matter, by thoughts and by internal adjustments of the life process."
(from Stepping into the Light, in The Feeling of What Happens, by Antonio R. Damasio, New York 1999, p.30-31.)
