10 QUOTES WITH «MUTANT»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word mutant.
1
Geraldine Brooks
Yes, it seems we've got this mutant gene in our human personality that makes us susceptible to this same kind of mistake over and over again. It's really uncanny how we build these beautiful multicultural edifices and then allow this switch to be flipped and everybody goes, 'Oh, the other, get them out of here.'
2
Greg van Eekhout
Back in 1982, when there were still only a manageable number of 'X-Men' titles on the racks (by which I mean just one), Marvel quite reasonably figured the world could stand another team of beleaguered mutant superheroes. And so were born 'The New Mutants,' junior X-Men whose powers had just begun to manifest at the onset of puberty.
3
Thomas Friedman
Al Qaeda is nothing more than a mutant supply chain. They're playing off the same platform as Wal-Mart and Dell. They're just not restrained by it. What is al Qaeda? It's an open source religious political movement that works off the global supply chain. That's what we're up against in Iraq. We're up against a suicide supply chain.
4
George Galloway
MRSA, which is a kind of super bug mutant, is killing 10,000 people a year in Britain.
5
Oscar Isaac
Humans are mutants, everything's a mutant - things that evolve.
6
Cynthia Kenyon
With worms you can just change genes at random and see if you can find a mutant that does what you want it to do.
7
Cynthia Kenyon
If I were a worm, I would rather be the long-lived mutant than the normal worm, that's for sure.
8
Paul Nurse
I had a great time investigating the pigments of different mutant fruit flies by following experimental protocols published in Scientific American, and I also remember making my own beetle collection when it was still acceptable to make such collections.
9
Anna Paquin
Everything about being a teenager and not feeling like you fit in is just magnified by being a mutant!
10
Jennifer Rubin
We shot 'Delusion' in the middle of the desert and outside of Las Vegas where they did those underground nuclear bomb testings. So I only ate oysters and drank coffee because I didn't want to turn into a mutant.
