How very little can be done under the spirit of fear.
While eliminating smallpox and curtailing cholera added decades of life to vast populations, cures for the chronic diseases of old age cannot have the same effect on life expectancy. A cure for cancer would be miraculous and welcome, but it would lea...
To mark the 10-year anniversary of 9/11, I wanted to launch an FDNY shirt that pays tribute to the brave first responders who, like my father, risk their lives in the line of duty on a regular basis. All of the proceeds raised from the sale of the T-...
Ageing is very rare. We only see it in humans and laboratory animals and in zoo animals and in our pets. Basically, organisms that are protected from the external world. Once you create that protection, you live long enough to see ageing.
You can open up a centenarian's brain, and you'll see some areas that look like that of a 50-year-old or of a 110-year-old. You can have variation in the basic process of aging, called senescence, in different parts of the same body.
What we know for sure from our work and from others' is that mice have a life span of 1,000 days, dogs have 5,000 days, and we humans have 29,000 days. Recognizing that the duration is limited, and aging is inevitable, focus the attention on enhancin...
The Faustian trade of the 20th century was, we got 30 years of additional life, but in return we got heart disease, cancer, stroke, Alzheimer's and sensory impairments. The question is: What Faustian trade are we making now, as we go after heart dise...
I was not scared at all.
I have an acute sense of delicacy. Naturally I am prejudiced in favour of virtue. ("The Accursed Cordonnier")
Nie może być dla kobiety większej udręki niż mężczyzna, który jest tak dobry, tak wierny, tak kochający, tak niepowtarzalny i który nie oczekuje żadnych przyrzeczeń. Po prostu jest i daje jej pewność, że będzie na wieczność. Boisz s...
On: Czekać. Czy to to samo, co tęsknić? Ona: Nie. Dla mnie nie. Przy czekaniu nie budzę się o 5 rano, rezygnując z najlepszych snów. Nie przychodzę także z tego powodu już przed 7 do biura. Przy czekaniu mleko nie traci dla mnie smaku. Przy...
Lennie Pike: It's buried under a big W. Say, what is a big W? Ding Bell: When we find out, we'll send you a 'Wire'. Benjy Benjamin: Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Liberty Valance: [shouting] Hashslinger; you out here? High Pockets: I'd say that was Liberty Valance there now; wouldn't you? Ransom Stoddard: Yes, I would. Kaintuck: W-w-we'll be seein' you, Mr. Stoddard.
I have a smile 24/7.
Politics is not really my thing.
I'm not a big politics guy.
NEW RULE: 'Kidiots' Leave the children behind. At least until they learn something. A new study has shown that half of American high schools agree that newspapers should only be able to publish government-approved material. Almost one out of five sai...
Are you?" I said. "Gay, I mean?" - I hoped he wasn't offended by my asking, but after everything that had happened, I really wanted to know. "No," he said. "I thought I was for about a w-w-week once. But now I know I'm not." If there was ever an answ...
Perhaps the prayer that is offered when the time for praying is over is more terribly pathetic than any other. Yet one might hesitate to say that this prayer was unanswered. ("The Undying Thing")
WALL.E: W-W-WALL-E Mary: [Introducing herself] Mary. WALL.E: [Points to EVE] EE-va? Mary: Oh, yes, of course. Excuse me. [Backs herself out of the way so WALL-E can ride with EVE, the shuttle stops and Mary disembarks with a gasp] Mary: I-I didn't kn...
My system uses no apparatus. The resistance of your own body is the best and safest apparatus.
