The adaptation can occur by a change in the genome through a genetic change triggered by the environment, or it can occur without any genetic change. — Lee Spetner

Well, people from there that did what I did for a living, you know what I'm saying? Go get you a quick check when you mess your money up. — Fetty Wap

Out of the blue, Paul reported feeling bouts of calm euphoria, a mystical sense of all's-right-with-his-life-and-the-universe, a bright future in sight ... I knew well the state of vigorous calm he meant, a frequent visitor throughout my own life. [p. 290] — Diane Ackerman
