Famous quotes containing the words genetic and/or defects:
“What strikes many twin researchers now is not how much identical twins are alike, but rather how different they are, given the same genetic makeup....Multiples don’t walk around in lockstep, talking in unison, thinking identical thoughts. The bond for normal twins, whether they are identical or fraternal, is based on how they, as individuals who are keenly aware of the differences between them, learn to relate to one another.”
—Pamela Patrick Novotny (20th century)
“We often make use of envenomed praise, that reveals on the rebound, as it were, defects in those praised which we dare not expose any other way.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
