For over two billion years, through the apparent fancy of her endless differentiations and metamorphosis the Cell, as regards its basic physiological mechanisms, has remained one and the same. It is life itself, and our true and distant ancestor.

Belgian Scientist

Cristina Saralegui

The talk show, as a genre, has been in decline for a while. It started with Jerry Springer, when the talk shows suffered a metamorphosis, going from the real and social issues to the hair-raising.

Cuban Journalist

Harold Brodkey

I awake with a not entirely sickened knowledge that I am merely young again and in a funny way at peace, an observer who is aware of time's chariot, aware that some metamorphosis has occurred.

American Author

Jenna Wortham

American Journalist

Soren Kierkegaard

The more a man can forget, the greater the number of metamorphoses which his life can undergo; the more he can remember, the more divine his life becomes.

Danish Philosopher

Lynn Whitfield

American Actress

David Cassidy

American Actor

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

Emotional Connotation

 Why is it important to reboot? What does the red represent? Tell me a little bit about that part. A little more about you that is not who you are. What are some other metamorphoses that you've had?
