Many of us who have cars have felt some form of extreme anger at other drivers because we feel they have put us in harm's way.

~ Taya Kyle
Human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.
~ Manny Pacquiao
An Internet meme is a hijacking of the original idea. Instead of mutating by random change and spreading by a form of Darwinian selection, Internet memes are altered deliberately by human creativity. There is no attempt at accuracy of copying, as with genes - and as with memes in their original version.
~ Richard Dawkins
With its billions of interconnected neurons, whose interactions change from millisecond to millisecond, the human brain is an archetypal complex system.
