"Life is really very simple. In each moment, we have the opportunity to choose between saying "yes or "no, to listen to our intuition, to listen to our true inner voice, the Existential voice within ourselves. When we say "yes, we have contact with Existence and we receive nourishment, love, joy, support and inspiration. When we say "no, we create a separation from life and begin to create dreams and expectations of how it should be. We begin to live in the memories of the past and in the fantasies of the future " as if any other time than here and now really could make us happy and satisfied."
"Men and women alike have convinced themselves of a dragging belief: that somehow women are incomplete without having children."
"Compromise is a choice. As is the defence of one's self."
"Every choice is limited. That's life."
"To be or not to be. Choose be."
"Because this injunction for all women to have children isn't in any way logical. If you take a moment to consider the state of the world, the thing you notice is that there are plenty of babies being born; the planet really doesn't need all of us to produce more babies."

"Thus the genetic basis to the origin of bird species is to be sought in the inheritance of adult traits that are subject to natural and sexual selection."
"To summarize, the particular song a male sings, and the behavioral responses of females to song and morphological signals, are not genetically inherited in a fixed manner but are determined by learning early in life."
"Genes that underlie the capacity to receive, use and transmit information are the evolving properties."
"Almost nothing is known from hybridization studies about the inheritance of courtship behavior of females, or of their responsiveness to particular male signals."
"The divergence of songs in the new population away from those in the progenitor population would only be prevented if these processes were balanced by repeated immigration and subsequent breeding: song flow."
"The theory of founder effects does not explain how novel features like plumage traits arise."
"Exchange of breeding individuals between two populations tends to homogenize their gene pools."
