Anybody who believes that the earth is less than 10,000 years old needs psychiatric help.

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.

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.

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.

Ideas do not work..It is YOU who has to do the work....

Even if everybody says it’s impossible, with determination, there is always something you can do. The last thing is to give up without trying

I do not like the situation but must endure to fulfil the dream.

Delayed gratification is to have a strong faith in the laws of nature and the principles of God.

...I've never really had a party before.""Why did you have one now?" I say, just to keep him talking.He gives a half laugh. "I thought if I had a party, you would come.

It isn’t much use writing slogans on a wall if you plan to total the building.

Time is the least thing we have.

That'd be walking into dangerous territory," he says, getting up from the sofa. "Luke is not a morning person.

Lord Jesus, receive my spirit . . . I see the heavens open and Jesus standing at the right hand of God.
