If revealed religions have revealed anything it is that they are usually wrong.

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.

All of Christ's commands are invitations and all of His invitations are commands.

I have to give the SNL crew props - it cannot have been easy to work with me.

One in eight plant species face extinction.

If I’m not saying ‘Hell Yeah!’ to something, then I say no.

I hate the actual traveling, but I like playing.

Parenthood is not an object of appetite or even desire. It is an object of will. There is no appetite for parenthood; there is only a purpose or intention of parenthood.

There is nothing the wise man does reluctantly.

A grove of giant redwood or sequoias should be kept just as we keep a great and beautiful cathedral.

He who can lead you to believe an absurdity can lead you to commit an atrocity.

If you take temptations into account, who is to say that he is better than his neighbor?
