We Are All But Recent Leaves On The Same Old Tree Of Life And If This Life Has Adapted Itself To New Functions And Conditions, It Uses The Same Old Basic Principles Over And Over Again. There Is No Real Difference Between The Grass And The Man Who Mows It.

I Always Tried To Live Up To Leo Szilard's Commandment, "don't Lie If You Don't Have To." I Had To. I Filled Up Pages With Words And Plans I Knew I Would Not Follow.

How Could I Tell Them What I Would Do A Year Hence?

All Living Organisms Are But Leaves On The Same Tree Of Life. The Various Functions Of Plants And Animals And Their Specialized Organs Are Manifestations Of The Same Living Matter.

In Principle It Would Not Matter Whether We Studied Nerve, Kidney Or Muscle To Understand The Basic Principles Of Life. In Practice, However, It Matters A Great Deal.
