Copies Sold

Famous quotes containing the words copies and/or sold:

    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)

    There is thy gold, worse poison to men’s souls,
    Doing more murder in this loathsome world,
    Than these poor compounds that thou mayest not sell.
    I sell thee poison, thou hast sold me none.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
