The living cell almost always contains, locked in its interior, the visible or invisible products of its physiological activity or its nourishment.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A living cell requires energy not only for all its functions, but also for the maintenance of its structure.
It is the cells which create and maintain in us, during the span of our lives, our will to live and survive, to search and experiment, and to struggle.
We dwell in the house of the body, but its perfection and intricate life are the work of a wisdom which never relaxes dominion over a single cell.
We finally understand in general terms how a cell is organized, how its specialized organs function in a well integrated manner to insure its survival and replication.
In reality, a cell is a biological mini-me compared to the human body. A cell has every biological system that you have.
Life is like an onion: you peel off layer after layer and then you find there is nothing in it.
The mark of a living thing is to be involved in opposites (impossibilities): the living cell that has to be continually adapting itself to stay alive, with its identity.
The cell is a city of production centres, each part working away like mad, and it's co-ordinated. Six trillion cells in a body - you can't help but be moved.
In my experience of living, for a time, in the underbelly of society, I spent a lot of time in various holding cells.
Life is a solitary cell whose walls are mirrors.
