“Anatomy of Typos (Sonnet) It took me a 100 books to realize this, typos are not a stain upon literature, typos are ornament of literature, sweet reminders of human endeavor. It's great to have literature without typos, like it's great to have a life without regrets. But in actuality, only the dead have no regrets, only the uncreative make no typographical mistakes. There are typos that are grievous, hence, need correcting, but most typos are harmless. Repulsed by typos means repulsed by literature, repulsed by regrets means repulsed by existence. Typos are the ornament of literature, regrets are the ornament of life. To make peace with regrets is the beginning of life, to make peace with typos is to empower literary light.”

“We have the same genetic code for all living creatures. We have a large number of genes that are manifestly the same, but with detail differences - they look like different drafts of the same book. In extreme cases, like a human and a beetroot, it's like the difference between Matthew and Luke's Gospel - clearly they tell the same story, but with different words. Whereas with a human and a chimp, it's like two different printings of Matthew, with a few typos in one.”
