Lines from "The Selfish Gene" that I Find Mildly Amusing When Taken Out of Context of the Moment
- "Baby bird screams do not become infinitely loud, because of other considerations."
- "There is no reason why a man should not inherit a tendency to develop a long penis from his mother."
- "The word excess has no meaning for a male."
- "An individual wolf, therefore, is a vehicle worthy of the name."
