Gene Quotes

Gene Autry was the most. It may sound like a joke - Go and have a look in my bedroom, It's covered with Gene Autry posters. He was my first musical influence. Ringo Starr
Gene, on the desire to be Finny: "I lost part of myself to him then, and a soaring sense of freedom revealed that this must have been my purpose from the first: to become a part of Phineas. John Knowles
Roger Ebert quote: "Gene Siskel used to describe old-age makeup as making young..."
Gene Siskel used to describe old-age makeup as making young actors look like turtles. Roger Ebert
Peter R. Grant quote: "Genes that underlie the capacity to receive, use and transmit..."
Genes that underlie the capacity to receive, use and transmit information are the evolving properties. Peter R. Grant
Paul Stanley quote: "Gene sometimes... well, he has his dream list."
Gene sometimes... well, he has his dream list. Paul Stanley
Gene Roddenberry's thing always was, we should not pass judgment on anything that anyone else believes in or what they do in their lives. Marina Sirtis
Persis Khambatta quote: "Gene Roddenberry was a genius."
Gene Roddenberry was a genius. Persis Khambatta
Individuals are not stable things, they are fleeting. Chromosomes too are shuffled into oblivion, like hands of cards soon after they are dealt. But the cards themselves survive the shuffling. The cards are the genes. The genes are not destroyed by crossing-over, they merely change partners and march on. Of course they march on. That is their business. They are the replicators and we are their survival machines. When we have served our purpose we are cast aside. But genes are denizens of... Richard Dawkins
Just as blueprints don't necessarily specify blue buildings, selfish genes don't necessarily specify selfish organisms. As we shall see, sometimes the most selfish thing a gene can do is build a selfless brain. Genes are a play within a play, not the interior monologue of the players. Steven Pinker
What does gene A do? What does gene B do? What does it do in different contexts? What's its importance? We know the answer to that for a very small number of genes, the ones that made themselves evident many years ago. David Baltimore
I'm just saying that I...I regret that everybody else has nineteen chances, and only I am limited to a single chance for my genes to continue."Because you believe your genes would confer a great blessing upon the human race."Ram thought about this for a moment, "I suppose that's what every adolescent male believes with his whole heart. Orson Scott Card
What would happen if the autism gene was eliminated from the gene pool? You would have a bunch of people standing around in a cave, chatting and socializing and not getting anything done. Temple Grandin
If, as the dowager had said, we are nothing but gene carriers, why do so many of us have to lead such strangely shaped lives? Wouldn’t our genetic purpose—to transmit DNA—be served just as well if we lived simple lives, not bothering our heads with a lot of extraneous thoughts, devoted entirely to preserving life and procreating? Did it benefit the genes in any way for us to lead such intricately warped, even bizarre, lives? Haruki Murakami
Prediction in a complex world is a chancy business. Every decision that a survival machine takes is a gamble, and it is the business of genes to program brains in advance so that on average they take decisions that pay off. The currency used in the casino of evolution is survival, strictly gene survival, but for many purposes individual survival is a reasonable approximation. Richard Dawkins
Is he a dread genetic determinist, or a dread environmental determinist? He is neither, of course, for both these species of bogeyman are as mythical as werewolves. By increasing the information we have about the various causes of the constraints that limit our current opportunities, he has increased our powers to avoid what we want to avoid, prevent what we want to prevent. Knowledge of the roles of our genes, and the genes of the other species around us, is not the enemy of human freedom,... Daniel Dennett
