About This Quote
The fact that DNA does not care or know that you are looking at it does not mean that it is not aware of the fact that you are reading this. The idea that DNA does not care can be quite offensive given the fact that DNA is constantly replicating itself, even as the species around it evolves. DNA is the fundamental unit of life. Without DNA, there would be no life on Earth.
