In bodies, a movement anywhere will send out a wave of response through the structure: the whole body participates, and the better organized it is around the skeletal core, the more clearly it reverberates.

Then there are the centrosomes, with their spindle apparatus, which organises the incredible choreography of the cell dividing into two; and the DNA spirals of heredity, coiled up in the inner sanctum of the chromosomes, working their even more potent magic. — Arthur Koestler The Ghost in the...

The biology of empathy allows us to comprehend our connection to each other, to other living things, and to the physical world that supports life. — George Lakoff The Political...
