The Lives of a Cell

The Lives of a Cell: Notes of a Biology Watcher | Lewis Thomas

“Statistically, the probability of any one of us being here is so small that the mere fact of our existence should keep us all in a state of contented dazzlement”

It always reminds me to not sweat the small stuff & whatever problems we have, no matter how big they seem, are small compared to the probability of us even being here. So if we‘re here, then we already beat the odds and can do it again. Go us!😉

emilyhaldi Love this 7y

mom2bugnbee I have this quote on my office door. (I'm a biology professor.) 7y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @mom2bugnbee I stumbled upon it years ago, why back when I put quotes I liked in a tablet, instead of in Goodreads....and it‘s perfect for a Biology Professor. 👍 7y
