Famous quotes containing the words biological and/or copying:

    Biological possibility and desire are not the same as biological need. Women have childbearing equipment. For them to choose not to use the equipment is no more blocking what is instinctive than it is for a man who, muscles or no, chooses not to be a weightlifter.
    Betty Rollin (b. 1936)

    The young always have the same problem—how to rebel and conform at the same time. They have now solved this by defying their parents and copying one another.
    Quentin Crisp (b. 1908)
