DNA Tower

Famous quotes containing the words dna and/or tower:

    Here [in London, history] ... seemed the very fabric of things, as if the city were a single growth of stone and brick, uncounted strata of message and meaning, age upon age, generated over the centuries to the dictates of some now all-but-unreadable DNA of commerce and empire.
    William Gibson (b. 1948)

    If God made me a princess, why didn’t he take a little more time and make my hair so it wouldn’t snarl?
