  "Atoms are weird stuff, behaving like active agents rather than inert substances. They make unpredictable choices between alternative possibilities according to the laws of quantum mechanics. It appears that mind, as manifested by the capacity to make choices, is to some extent inherent in every atom."

Freeman Dyson, excerpt from his Templeton Prize acceptance speech, 2001

  2. The living cell has no identifiable means of communication.
