As with the tender juvenile, who sets light to his frock, so with the sweet senior, who sets his fortunes on fire. Even in his maturer time, in his state of cinderhood, he still craves to be further consumed.

"That a Burnt Child often Dreads the Fire"Samuel Laman Blanchard
» Samuel Laman Blanchard - all quotes »
Patterns of gene expression are to organisms as melodies and harmonies are to sonatas. It's all about which sets of proteins appear in a cell at the same time (the chords) and which sets come before or after other sets (the themes) and at what rate they appear (the tempos) and how they modulate one another (the developments and transitions). When these patterns go awry we may see malignancy. When they change by mutation we can get new kinds of organisms. When they work, we get a creature.
Ursula Goodenough
He will make a strange combustion in the state of his soul, who at the landing of every cockboat sets the beacons on fire.
Thomas (preacher) Fuller
Love sets fire to your schedule,
And then calls an end to time.Ani DiFranco
The history of science is rich in the example of the fruitfulness of bringing two sets of techniques, two sets of ideas, developed in separate contexts for the pursuit of new truth, into touch with one another.
J. Robert Oppenheimer
