James D. Watson

The brain is the last and grandest biological frontier, the most complex thing we have yet discovered in our universe. It contains hundreds of billions of cells interlinked through trillions of connections. The brain boggles the mind.

Jeanine Pirro

...based on something called a 'ping,' where you literally ping a cell phone using an electronic signal that then reflects the location of where that cell phone is.

Jeremy Rifkin

We are learning that the earth functions like an invisible organism. We are the various cells of one living being. Those who work to save the earth are its antibodies.

Glenn Beck

So here you have Barack Obama going in and spending the money on embryonic stem cell research. Eugenics.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

There is but an inch of difference between a cushioned chamber and a padded cell.

Fred Hoyle

The notion that not only the biopolymer but the operating program of a living cell could be arrived at by chance in a primordial organic soup here on the Earth is evidently nonsense of a high order.

Fred Hoyle

Imagine 1050 blind persons each with a scrambled Rubik's cube, and try to conceive of the chance of them all simultaneously arriving at the solved form. You then have a chance of arriving by random shuffling, of just one of the many biopolymers on which life depends. The notion that not only the biopolymers but the operating program of a living cell could be arrived at by chance in a primordial organic soup here on the Earth is evidently nonsense of a high order.

Frank Herbert

It is said that there is a principle of conflict which originated with the single cell and has never deteriorated.

George Henry Lewes

A cell is regarded as the true biological atom.

Hugh Howey

I am about to die. It is September 11, and every cell in my body is acutely aware of my looming demise. The certainty of it. The inevitability. Not years from now, not weeks nor days. Moments.

Ivan Pavlov

Absolute truth is a very rare and dangerous commodity in the context of professional journalism.

Our research team made patient-specific embryonic stem cells and we have the technology to produce them.

Bonnie Bassler

We're scientists; we're curious about how nature works, but we're also do-gooders. It's fantastic to think that the same experiments we'd do to understand how information gets into cells could have a practical side to them, too.

There are many cells you could look at forever in 3D.

Brain cells are normally not sensitive to light. So by introducing light-sensitive proteins into specific types of neurons, we can now selectively control that specific type of neuron by shining light in the brain.

We discovered two of the three cells which conducted 9/11. If that's not significant, I don't know what is,

Wolfgang Ketterle

Laser cooling opened a new route to ultralow temperature physics. Laser cooling experiments, with room temperature vacuum chambers and easy optical access, look very different from cryogenic cells with multi-layer thermal shielding around them.

Gregory Corso

I was what? - twelve years old - and I was thrown in the cells with these people, so I learned fast.

Chuck Zito

One day between takes on the 'Oz' set, I went into one of the cells and laid down and dozed off. When I woke up, I thought I was back in a federal pen. But I did my time, and today no one is more of a free man than Chuck Zito.

Will Champion

I think hopefully we've got enough brain cells left to decide if our music is really worth something.

Bob Newhart

Agatha Christie

You should employ your little grey cells

Agatha Christie

These little grey cells. It is up to them.

We know the terrorists cells are still active, they are still hiding, recruiting, networking, trying to find new funding and even planning for another strike.

I started stem cells when I wanted to find a cure for my mother, who I loved very much, and western medicine was not able to cure her. If I had discovered stem cells a year before, I think that she would still be here with me.

Dave Madden

I found fame to be somewhat of a prison. The more famous you were, the smaller the cell that you had to live in.

Dave Madden

Well I've always said that fame and fortune - the two things that one seems to go after when they go into show business was not at all what it was cracked up to be as far as I was concerned. I found fame to be somewhat of a prison. The more famous you were, the smaller the cell that you had to live in.

David Eagleman

Your brain is built of cells called neurons and glia - hundreds of billions of them. Each one of these cells is as complicated as a city.

David Baltimore

When we talk about stem cells, we are actually talking about a complicated series of things, including adult stem cells which are largely cells devoted to replacing individual tissues like blood elements or liver or even the brain.

Daryn Kagan

My two must-haves are my cell phone and my MacBook Pro laptop, which allows me to update my Web site from wherever I am, whether I'm in Africa or in Sun Valley skiing.
