Siddhartha Mukherjee
“Life may be chemistry, but it's a special circumstance of chemistry. Organisms exist not because of reactions that are possible, but because of reactions that are barely possible. Too much reactivity and we would spontaneously combust. Too little, and we would turn cold and die. Proteins enable these barely possible reactions, allowing us to live on the edges of chemical entropy-skating perilously, but never falling in.”
Siddhartha Mukherjee, The Gene: An Intimate History

Hope Jahren
“Working in the hospital teaches you that there are only two kinds of people in the world: the sick and the not sick. If you are not sick, shut up and help. Twenty-five years later, I still cannot reject this as an inaccurate worldview.”
Hope Jahren, Lab Girl

“Pope Gregory I (in 601) laid the church’s strategy out quite plainly. As he wrote to Mellitus, his missionary in England, “[Do] not…stop such ancient pagan festivities…adapt them to the rites of the Church, only changing the reason of them from a heathen to a Christian impulse.”
David Kyle Johnson, The Myths That Stole Christmas: Seven Misconceptions That hijacked the Holiday

Siddhartha Mukherjee
“The genetic code is universal... there is nothing particularly special about human genes.”
Siddhartha Mukherjee (author), The Gene

Kimberlé Crenshaw
“Treating different things the same can generate as much inequality as treating the same things differently.”
Kimberlé Crenshaw
