Quotes About Triplets

I'm in love with music, and I'm pregnant by it. It's like having twins. Or triplets. Or eight-lets!
~ R. Kelly
Nature gives us all, including Prof. Lorentz, surprises. It was very quickly found that there are many exceptions to the rule of splitting of the lines only into triplets.
~ Pieter Zeeman
So many have the same premise: once upon a time, there were three. Three of something: three pigs, three bears, three brothers, three soldiers, three billy goats. Three princesses.
~ E. Lockhart
Good news!" she chirped. "The doctor says this time it's triplets!
~ Susan Elizabeth Phillips
ain't any real difference between triplets and an insurrection. "The Babies
~ Mark Twain
Five things I'd rather do than swatch for my new project 1. Get a spinal tap. 2. Scrub the bathtub after all three of my daughters have come home from "Sandbox day" at the park. 3. Babysit two-year-old triplets while simultaneously diffusing a bomb. 4. Bathe a cat. 5. KNIT MY NEW PROJECT.
~ Stephanie Pearl-McPhee
Giving birth to triplets at the age of forty-three is no walk in the park, but I had little choice. I got married at the young age of forty, and both my husband, Shirish, and I were keen to start a family soon.
~ Farah Khan
A comparison between the triplets tentatively deduced by these methods with the changes in amino acid sequence produced by mutation shows a fair measure of agreement.
~ Francis Crick
The balance of evidence both from the cell-free system and from the study of mutation, suggests that this does not occur at random, and that triplets coding the same amino acid may well be rather similar.
~ Francis Crick
It now seems very likely that many of the 64 triplets, possibly most of them, may code one amino acid or another, and that in general several distinct triplets may code one amino acid.
~ Francis Crick
If, for example, all the codons are triplets, then in addition to the correct reading of the message, there are two incorrect readings which we shall obtain if we do not start the grouping into sets of three at the right place.
~ Francis Crick
It would appear that the number of nonsense triplets is rather low, since we only occasionally come across them. However this conclusion is less secure than our other deductions about the general nature of the genetic code.
~ Francis Crick
They're combining that new fertility drug with a birth control pill for people who don't want triplets.
~ Robert Orben
I'm trying not to wet myself with excitement," I murmur back. "It's harder after having the triplets.
~ Kristan Higgins
The meaning of this observation is unclear, but it raises the unfortunate possibility of ambiguous triplets; that is, triplets which may code more than one amino acid. However one would certainly expect such triplets to be in a minority.
~ Francis Crick
Unfortunately it makes the unambiguous determination of triplets by these methods much more difficult than would be the case if there were only one triplet for each amino acid.
~ Francis Crick
Triplets are when four babies are born at the same time, and there are only two Quagmires.
~ Lemony Snicket
When they were in second class, Sister Joyce Mary chalked a picture of the three-leafed shamrock on the blackboard to illustrate how "the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost were three persons but one God." Gemma's hand shot into the air. "Like triplets! Like us!" The nun winced. "I'm afraid the Kettle girls are not like the Holy Trinity!" "Yes, but I think we are, Sister," said Gemma kindly.
~ Liane Moriarty
Attempts have been made from a study of the changes produced by mutation to obtain the relative order of the bases within various triplets, but my own view is that these are premature until there is more extensive and more reliable data on the composition of the triplets.
~ Francis Crick
