The ultimate aim of the modern movement in biology is in fact to explain all biology in terms of physics and chemistry.

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.

Great people will always be mocked by those who feel smaller than them.

At a certain point talk about 'essence' and 'oneness' and the universal becomes more tautological than inquisitive.

Who wills, Can. Who tries, Does. Who loves, Lives.

What inspires me may not inspire someone else.

As a professional actor, I don't have much choice about what I've gotten into. I tend to be cast in comedies and I'm fine with that.

In Tantric Zen there is no rule. There is only your immediate experience.

We didn't wish -- wishes are wasted... We didn't hope -- because our future was inevitable... And we didn't pray -- we were on our own.

In confusing stock options with ownership, corporations confuse trappings with substance.

It's funny how the whole team gets quiet when you're about to win a Daytona 500.

The gospel is not itself about you are this sort of a person and this can happen to you. That's the result of the gospel rather than the gospel itself.
