“The debate over 'nature or nurture' has raged for two thousand years. [...] In reality there is no debate. Most of who we are is a result of the interaction of our genes and our experiences. In some cases, the genes are more important, while in others the environment is more crucial. We tend to oversimplify because we want to identify a single cause of a particular problem, so we can pour our efforts into one 'cure'.” — John J. Ratey, M. D.
