Quotes[]
- The study of the living organism is not unlike the exploration of the galaxy. Our bodies are microcosms as vast and diverse as the stars themselves and as subject to the threat of invasion or harm. Through our study of the body and its natural defenses, we better understand how to protect ourselves against many of the biological hazards we may encounter while exploring the larger galaxy.
