Famous quotes containing the words genetic and/or defects:

    Man is not merely the sum of his masks. Behind the shifting face of personality is a hard nugget of self, a genetic gift.... The self is malleable but elastic, snapping back to its original shape like a rubber band. Mental illness is no myth, as some have claimed. It is a disturbance in our sense of possession of a stable inner self that survives its personae.
    Camille Paglia (b. 1947)

    The defects of the mind, like those of the face, grow worse with age.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
