Outer Hair Cells

Famous quotes containing the words outer, hair and/or cells:

    “When human beings have been fascinated by the contemplation of their own hearts, the more intricate biological pattern of the female has become a model for the artist, the mystic, and the saint. When mankind turns instead to what can be done, altered, built, invented, in the outer world, all natural properties of men, animals, or metals become handicaps to be altered rather than clues to be followed.”
    —Margaret Mead (1901–1978)

    “And now he comes again with clatter of stone,
    And mounts the wall again with whited eyes
    And all his tail that isn’t hair up straight.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “Madness is locked beneath. It goes into tissues, is swallowed by the cells. The cells go mad. Cancer is their flag. Cancer is the growth of madness denied.”
    —Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
