Omnis cellula e cellula…
Latin for: “Every cell from a cell”
– Rudolph Virchow
[This was the very first entry in my journal when I was a child. At the time, I hoped to be a scientist when I grew up and considered myself to be an evolutionist. This statement was my shout-out to the universe (“I think, therefore I am!“) that I did not believe in religious dogma – a literal interpretation of the Bible as described in the book of Genesis. Obviously, the irony of the statement versus the actual theory of evolution escaped me at the time. — KMAB]
