Matt Ridley
“The filament of D N A is information, a message written in a code
of chemicals, one chemical for each letter. It is almost too good to be
true, but the code turns out to be written in a way that we can understand.
Just like written English, the genetic code is a linear language,
written in a straight line. Just like written English, it is digital, in that
every letter bears the same importance. Moreover, the language of
DNA is considerably simpler than English, since it has an alphabet
of only four letters, conventionally known as A, C, G and T.”
Matt Ridley, Genome: The Autobiography of a Species in 23 Chapters

Matt Ridley
“Apart from the fusion of chromosome 2, visible differences between chimp and human chromosomes are few and tiny. In thirteen chromosomes no visible differences of any kind exist. If you select at random any 'paragraph' in the chimp genome and compare it with the comparable 'paragraph' in the human genome, you will find very few 'letters' are different: on average, less than two in every hundred. We are, to a ninety-eight per cent approximation, chimpanzees,and they are, with ninety-eight per cent confidence limits, human beings. If that does not dent your self-esteem, consider that chimpanzees are only ninety-seven per cent gorillas; and humans are also ninety-seven per cent gorillas. In other words we are more chimpanzee-like than gorillas are.”
Matt Ridley, Genome: The Autobiography of a Species in 23 Chapters

Keith Ferrazzi
“Hi, this is Keith Ferrazzi. I’m just calling back because I haven’t heard from Michael.” Here again, without being too pushy, you begin to create the presumption that his return call is imminent and expected.”
Keith Ferrazzi, Never Eat Alone: And Other Secrets to Success, One Relationship at a Time

Amir Levine
“Having a partner who is inconsistently available or supportive can be a truly demoralizing and debilitating experience that can literally stunt our growth and stymie our health.”
Amir Levine, Attached: The New Science of Adult Attachment and How It Can Help You Find—and Keep—Love

Milan Kundera
“Anyone who thinks that the Communist regimes of Central Europe are exclusively the work of criminals is overlooking a basic truth: the criminal regimes were made not by criminals but by enthusiasts convinced that they had discovered the road to paradise.”
Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being
