Molecular Biology Quotes

“Every disease that’s with us is caused by DNA. And every disease can be fixed by DNA.”
― George M. Church

“For all the accomplishments of molecular biology, we still can't tell a live cat from a dead cat.”
― Lynn Margulis

“We are at the dawn of a new era, the era of 'molecular biology' as I like to call it, and there is an urgency about the need for more intensive application of physics and chemistry, and specially of structure analysis, that is still not sufficiently appreciated.”
― William Astbury

“Biology is run by intricate cellular mechanisms. Cellular mechanisms are run by Nature. Thus, the more we attempt to understand Nature, the more we get closer to our existential properties.”
― Abhijit Naskar, What is Mind?

“To your biology, survival of your genes is more important than accomplishment of your dreams.”

“The building blocks of life come from nature, and upon death they merge back with nature.”

“All experiences, emotions, behaviors and beliefs, that make us humans, are the creation of various intricate and inexplicable molecular interactions within the brain.”

“The question of why behind every phenomenon in nature, does not have one answer, it has infinite layers of answer, and the more layers you unravel, the closer you get to understanding the makeup of the universe.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Hometown Human: To Live for Soil and Society

“Closely allied with the contribution of chemists to the alleviation of disease is their involvement at a molecular level. Biology became chemistry half a century ago when the structure of DNA was discovered (in 1953). Molecular biology, which in large measure has sprung from that discovery, is chemistry applied to the functioning of organisms. Chemists, often disguised as molecular biologists, have opened the door to understanding life and its principal characteristic, inheritance, at a most fundamental level, and have thereby opened up great regions of the molecular world to rational investigation. They have also transformed forensic medicine, brought criminals to justice, and transformed anthropology.”
― Peter Atkins, Chemistry: A Very Short Introduction

“What triggers the split? The cause of cell division or what causes cells to divide remains one of the most fundamental, unsolved problems in biology. Allow me to state that truth is simple. This may come as a shock to my colleagues in physics and molecular biology. So best to sit down with a glass of vino but not too long for a sedentary life is unhealthy as we all know. Lest not get distracted however and stick with the cause of cell division. Truth is that 'there is no such thing as cell division'. 'There is only one cell which veils itself so not to be itself.' In fact; I would like to argue that 'there is only one self which veils itself so not to be by itself. Without veiling oneself self could not experience companionship itself and companionship is what self is all about. It is not good for one to be alone. One's very own purpose it is companionship more commonly known as love.' The above ties in nicely with the theory of evolution (which means love in action) and the theory of relativity (time is the result of one not wanting to be alone) to name just a few. Simplified? We are not as divided as it appears. The meaning of life is love.”
― Wald Wassermann

“In nature nothing is hardwired, everything is livewired, everything is evolvable.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Find A Cause Outside Yourself: Sermon of Sustainability

“Mission is purpose magnified,
Purpose is potential focused,
Potential is protoplasm evolving,
Protoplasm is a pocket universe.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Insan Himalayanoğlu: It's Time to Defect

“Biochemistry illuminates the invisible pathways of life, guiding us towards a deeper understanding of the complex web of molecular interactions that shape our existence.”
― Aloo Denish Obiero

“DNA test may reveal your ancestry, but there is no DNA test for character.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Visvavatan: 100 Demilitarization Sonnets

“Life is too sacred to be confined by obsolete lies and superstitions.”
