A final proof of our ideas can only be obtained by detailed studies on the alterations produced in the amino acid sequence of a protein by mutations of the type discussed here.

There is no scientific study more vital to man than the study of his own brain. Our entire view of the universe depends on it.

Unfortunately it makes the unambiguous determination of triplets by these methods much more difficult than would be the case if there were only one triplet for each amino acid.

A comparison between the triplets tentatively deduced by these methods with the changes in amino acid sequence produced by mutation shows a fair measure of agreement.

It is essential to understand our brains in some detail if we are to assess correctly our place in this vast and complicated universe we see all around us.

Trying to determine the structure of a protein by UV spectroscopy was like trying to determine the structure of a piano by listening to the sound it made while being dropped down a flight of stairs.

It has yet to be shown by direct biochemical methods, as opposed to the indirect genetic evidence mentioned earlier, that the code is indeed a triplet code.

You can do reverse engineering, but you can’t do reverse hacking.

The dangerous man is the one who has only one idea, because then he'll fight and die for it.

It now seems very likely that many of the 64 triplets, possibly most of them, may code one amino acid or another, and that in general several distinct triplets may code one amino acid.

It now seems certain that the amino acid sequence of any protein is determined by the sequence of bases in some region of a particular nucleic acid molecule.

Ice upon ice, and yet, inside, she melted and mourned all the same.

War is an option of difficulties.

It's such a pleasurable experience to look back, and all of the fun I had just comes rushing back.

God may not guide us in an obvious way because he wants us to make decisions based on faith and character.

Peter did not feel very brave; indeed, he felt he was going to be sick. But that made no difference to what he had to do.

We are not one people. We are two peoples. We are a people for Freedom and a people for Slavery. Between the two, conflict is inevitable.

A long headline that really says something is more effective than a brief heading that says nothing.

In this land of the Ganga (Varanasi), there was education of culture. But, more importantly, there was a culture of education.

The great benefit of practicing mindfulness... is presence of mind within a storm of emotions.

I felt like an alien. I always felt like I never belonged to any group that I wanted to belong to.
