“Remember, an activated attachment system is not passionate love.

Every poet's ambition should be to write as well. Anything else is only a flirtation.”

of chemicals, one chemical for each letter. It is almost too good to be

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.”
