i've used the line many times
a mind is like a parachute- it doesn't work if it's not open
a closed mind is pointless

The actual quote has to do with keeping an open mind, not an open brain...
"A mind is like a parachute - it only works when it's open."
That said, it's one of my favorite quotes.

"Our two minds .... One is an act of the emotional
mind, the other of the rational mind. In a very real
sense we have two minds, one that thinks and one that
feels" (Daniel Goleman, Emotional Intelligence,
Bloomsbury Publishing, London, 1996, page 8). This
rational mind is also called the faculty of logic and
reason.
It is the rational mind which goes to sleep when we are
asleep. The emotional mind sleeps very little, it causes
dreams when you are asleep. Whether you open it or not,
it always works. It is called the sub-conscious mind.

how long did it take you to think of that question..the similarity of a parachute to a brain..they both "let you down" they're both full of wind. and also full of holes..they don't think.they both lead you where you might not want to go..yes I think they might be similar in some respects

I like it. Another one I like is "Why do people with such little minds have such big mouths?"
