“I declare that The Beatles are mutants. Prototypes of evolutionary agents sent by God, endowed with a mysterious power to create a new human species, a young race of laughing freemen.”

“God's greatest gift is to endow human beings with the capacity to perceive - and the create - holiness.”

“Natural selection eliminates and maybe maintains, but it doesn't create... Neo-Darwinists say that new species emerge when mutations occur and modify an organism. I was taught over and over again that the accumulation of random mutations led to evolutionary change [which] led to new species. I believed it until I looked for evidence.”

“New mutations don't create new species; they create offspring that are impaired.”

“Innovation is the specific instrument of entrepreneurship...the act that endows resources with a new capacity to create wealth.”

“I remember that just as I was about to cross the border they asked me what I had to declare and, like an idiot, I answered: "I want to declare that I am a traitor to the human race.”
