• Pero el carbono 13 [el carbono del maíz] no miente, y los investigadores que han comparado los isótopos de la carne o el pelo de los estadounidenses con los de los mismos tejidos de los mexicanos afirman que ahora somos nosotros, los del Norte, los verdaderos habitantes del maíz..... En comparación con nosotros, los mexicanos consumen hoy una dieta de carbono mucho más variada: los animales que comen siguen comiendo hierba (hasta hace poco, los mexicanos consideraban un sacrilegio alimentar al ganado con maíz); gran parte de sus proteínas proceden de las legumbres; y siguen endulzando sus bebidas con azúcar de caña. Así somos nosotros: maíz procesado, andando.

• If the Universe came to an end every time there was some uncertainty about what had happened in it, it would never have got beyond the first picosecond. And many of course don't. It's like a human body, you see. A few cuts and bruises here and there don't hurt it. Not even major surgery if it's done properly. Paradoxes are just the scar tissue. Time and space heal themselves up around them and people simply remember a version of events which makes as much sense as they require it to make.

• If diphtheria is a disease caused by a microorganism, it is essential that three postulates be fulfilled. The fulfilment of these postulates is necessary in order to demonstrate strictly the parasitic nature of a disease:
  1) The organism must be shown to be constantly present in characteristic form and arrangement in the diseased tissue.
  2) The organism which, from its behaviour appears to be responsible for the disease, must be isolated and grown in pure culture.
  3) The pure culture must be shown to induce the disease experimentally.

• An immune system of enormous complexity is present in all vertebrate animals. When we place a population of lymphocytes from such an animal in appropriate tissue culture fluid, and when we add an antigen, the lymphocytes will produce specific antibody molecules, in the absense of any nerve cells. I find it astonishing that the immune system embodies a degree of complexity which suggests some more or less superficial though striking analogies with human language, and that this cognitive system has evolved and functions without assistance of the brain.

• As a progressive discipline [biochemistry] belongs to the present century. From the experimental physiologists of the last century it obtained a charter, and, from a few pioneers of its own, a promise of success; but for the furtherance of its essential aim that century left it but a small inheritance of facts and methods. By its essential or ultimate aim I myself mean an adequate and acceptable description of molecular dynamics in living cells and tissues.

• Sin embargo, en muchas ocasiones examiné sangre normal y tejidos normales y no había posibilidad de pasar por alto bacterias o confundirlas con masas granulares de igual tamaño. Nunca encontré organismos. Por lo tanto, concluyo que no hay bacterias en los tejidos humanos o animales sanos.

• Fat is a barrier, a bellicose statement to others that, to some, justifies hostility in kind. The world says to the fat person, "Your fatness is an affront to me, so we have the right to treat you as offensively as you appear." Fat is not merely viewed as another type of tissue, but as a diagnostic sign, a personal statement, and a measure of personality. Too little fat and we see you as being antisocial, fearful and sexless. Too much fat and we see you as slothful, stupid, and sexually hung up.

• What is wrong with looking muscular? Muscles are beautiful. Strength is beautiful. Muscle tissue is beautiful. It is metabolically, medically, and philosophically beautiful. Muscles retreat when they're not used, but they will always come back if you give them good reason. No matter how old you get, your muscles never lose hope. Few cells of the body are as capable as muscle cells are of change and reformation, of achievement and transcendence.

• Our tissues change as we live: the food we eat and the air we breathe become flesh of our flesh and bone of our bone, and the momentary elements of our flesh and bone pass out of our body every day with our excreta. We are but whirlpools in a river of ever-flowing water. We are not stuff that abides, but patterns that perpetuate themselves

• I have even learned to respond to someone crying by just listening. In the old days I used to reach for the tissues, until I realized that passing a person a tissue may be just another way to shut them down, to take them out of their experience of sadness and grief. Now I just listen. When they have cried all they need to cry, they find me there with them.
