Clone Degeneration

Famous quotes containing the words clone and/or degeneration:

“Each writer is born with a repertory company in his head. Shakespeare has perhaps 20 players, and Tennessee Williams has about 5, and Samuel Beckett one—and maybe a clone of that one. I have 10 or so, and that’s a lot. As you get older, you become more skillful at casting them.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)

“In marriage, a man becomes slack and selfish, and undergoes a fatty degeneration of his moral being.”
—Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
