“scientists has recently mapped the genome of ancient mammoths, found frozen in the Siberian ice. They now plan to take a fertilised egg-cell of a present-day elephant, replace the elephantine DNA with a reconstructed mammoth DNA, and implant the egg in the womb of an elephant. After about twenty-two months, they expect the first mammoth in 5,000 years to be born.9”

“When something is at its best, you should enjoy it as long as possible. If you are already thinking about the end, you bring the end into the now, how stupid is that? When something is beautiful, the wise person enjoys the moment as long as it lasts. When it’s over, it’s over, but I don’t end it prematurely to get ahead of the end. That’s like hanging myself early so I don’t have to die.”
