What: "A successful marriage is like an elegant ship sailing through the waters and storms of life. The problem with all ships is that they get barnacles- ugly little unseen monsters that attach themselves to the bottom of the boat. Soon the vessel is stuck dead in the water-like the marriage that is going nowhere as the partners peacefully coexist. Little things, like the irritations of misunderstanding that come with wrong expectations, build up."

What: "Access concentration is like a toddler learning to walk. The child can take a few steps but repeatedly falls down. In contrast, absorption concentration is like an adult who is able to stand and walk for an entire day without falling down. A modern metaphor would be of a top spinning. In access concentration, the top needs constant attention, wobbles frequently, and falls down. Inabsorption, the top spins in a centered way on its own."

What:

"Ban the clones ? Does all this mean that the possibility of human cloning should be joyously embraced ? Far from it . It would be suicidal , not just dispiriting , for the species to give up sexual reproduction in favour of cloning . Sex creates new gene combinations that confer new strengths , especially resistance to disease . As a distinguished biologist , George C. Williams , put it many years ago , asexual reproduction is like xeroxing your lottery ticket ; even if you have the winning number , making many copies wo not help unless the winning number is the same every time . In the history of evolution asexual lineages of species have often appeared but few have lasted long."
