Quotes iLike

One might have heard about artificial life created in Lab by The Craig Venter Institute.
It was the first time that bases were assembled as wanted and a complete living organism was formed. And the mother of this organism : A computer!!

Well, what I liked most about the development was how the Quotes which were watermarked in the codon (To show the organism was really synthetic..) truly reflected the significance of the development. Here are the quotes and 'feel' them for yourself..

“TO LIVE, TO ERR, TO FALL, TO TRIUMPH, TO RECREATE LIFE OUT OF LIFE.” – James Joyce’s A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man;

“SEE THINGS NOT AS THEY ARE, BUT AS THEY MIGHT BE.”-A quote from an Oppenheimer biography, American Prometheus;

“WHAT I CANNOT BUILD, I CANNOT UNDERSTAND.” – Richard Feynman.
