Semir Zeki
“Fa parte della nostra natura biologica innamorarci, e di solito lo facciamo persino con la persona più improbabile o magari meno socialmente accettabile. La gente penserà magari che il nostro amato è pieno di difetti, ma a noi sembra perfetto. Questa sospensione del giudizio nelle faccende di cuore è comune al punto che non è irragionevole ipotizzare che abbia un solido fondamento neurobiologico. Sebbene l'amore appaia a volte nomade e irrazionale, ci sono validi e razionali fondamenti biologici di questa irrazionalità. […] Combattere contro l'amore vuol dire combattere contro la biologia, una battaglia da cui a lungo termine nessuno è uscito vincitore. Resistere all'amore è vano, come molti innamorati hanno scoperto. Le barriere che erigiamo contro di esso non hanno mai sradicato il sentimento, come hanno scoperto leader religiosi e famiglie ortodosse di ogni fede quando hanno voluto impedire ai figli di formare legami disapprovati.”
Semir Zeki, Splendori e miserie del cervello

Louis-Vincent Thomas
“...la persona que fallece puede esperar sobrevivir en la memoria de los que aún quedan con vida, y en todo caso mantenerse parcialmente en el patrimonio genético que lega a su descendencia.”
Louis-Vincent Thomas, Antropologia de la muerte
