3 Quotes by Michael Marshall

By asking how life came to be, we are implicitly asking why we are here, whether life exists on other planets, and what it means to be alive.

It now seems that life began, not with a single component like a gene, but with several components that could work together. Life is less about a particular substance, and more about the way a group of substances behave when they are combined.

Life is an edge phenomenon in the cosmos, something that has snuck in.
