“Not one of your pertinent ancestors was squashed, devoured, drowned, starved, stranded, stuck fast, untimely wounded, or otherwise deflected from its life's quest of delivering a tiny charge of genetic material to the right partner at the right moment in order to perpetuate the only possible sequence of hereditary combinations that could result -- eventually, astoundingly, and all too briefly -- in you.”

“​Listen to the MUSTN'TS, child,
Listen to the DON'TS
Listen to the SHOULDN'TS

Then listen close to me—
Anything can happen, child,
ANYTHING can be.”
― Shel Silverstein, Where the Sidewalk Ends
