Genetic Similarity

Famous quotes containing the words genetic and/or similarity:

    “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)

    “Incompatibility. In matrimony a similarity of tastes, particularly the taste for domination.”
    —Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)
