What: "A good man is like a good sword. A good sword is sharp and strong; a good man is passionate and committed. Passion allows you to do things more efficiently because you enjoy it. Commitment allows you to succeed. Don't mix up the order. A dull but strong sword has more uses to its wielder than a sharp sword that's broken. Because in the long run, commitment triumphs over passion. Every time."

What: "More often than not, Quentin Tarantino is like a very able boxer who throws the same punch time after time. After the first, second, and third haymaker -- one can predict what the fourth and fifth and sixth will be. As an opponent of Tarantino's, I thought I had him and his latest film, the WWII-set Inglourious Basterds, pegged as just that -- another wild haymaker"

What: "Tertiary structure is like the plot. It's how the amino acids interact with other amino acids in other parts of the protein chain. There are twists and turns. Things fold back on each other. Lines intersect. Some amino acids can even form chemical bonds with each other, joining parts of the protein chain together, connecting them at particular points along the line. The tertiary structure gives the protein/book its shape. Foreshadowing, flashback, conflict, surprise, epiphany. These are all tertiary structural elements of the story, and they ultimately make the protein perform its function. They make the story work."
