Famous quotes containing the words food and/or habits:
“We can come up with a working definition of life, which is what we did for the Viking mission to Mars. We said we could think in terms of a large molecule made up of carbon compounds that can replicate, or make copies of itself, and metabolize food and energy. So that’s the thought: macrocolecule, metabolism, replication.”
—Cyril Ponnamperuma (b. 1923)
“Varis Shah says habits don’t die even if we are cut into pieces.”
—Varis Shah (18th cent.)
