What strikes many twin researchers now is not how much identical twins are alike, but rather how different they are, given the sam...e genetic makeup....Multiples don't walk around in lockstep, talking in unison, thinking identical thoughts. The bond for normal twins, whether they are identical or fraternal, is based on how they, as individuals who are keenly aware of the differences between them, learn to relate to one another.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
What if there are not only two nostrils, two eyes, two lobes, and so forth, but two psyches as well, and they are separately equip...ped? They go through life like Siamese twins inside one person.... They can be just a little different, like identical twins, or they can be vastly different, like good and evil.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The cradle rocks above an abyss, and common sense tells us that our existence is but a brief crack of light between two eternities... of darkness. Although the two are identical twins, man, as a rule, views the prenatal abyss with more calm than the one he is heading for (at some forty-five hundred heartbeats an hour).LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
There is absolutely no evidence--developmental or otherwise--to support separating twins in school as a general policy. . . . The ...best policy seems to be no policy at all, which means that each year, you and your children need to decide what will work best for you.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
If twins are believed to be less intelligent as a class than single-born children, it is not surprising that many times they are a...lso seen as ripe for social and academic problems in school. No one knows the extent to which these kind of attitudes affect the behavior of multiples in school, and virtually nothing is known from a research point of view about social behavior of twins over the age of six or seven, because this hasn't been studied either.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
One internationally known twin researcher sees similarities between twins' relationships and those of couple who have been married... a long time. Fifteen-year-old twins, as well as spouses approaching their fortieth anniversary, each know their partners' likes, dislikes, habits, and idiosyncracies as well as they know their own.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Thy navel is like a round goblet, which wanteth not liquor: thy belly is like an heap of wheat set about with lilies. Thy two brea...sts are like two young roes that are twins. Thy neck is like a tower of ivory; thine eyes like the fishpools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bath-rabbim: thy nose is as the tower of Lebanon which looketh toward Damascus. Thine head upon thee is like Carmel, and the hair of thine head like purple; the king is held in the galleries. How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights!LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Art is identical with a state of capacity to make, involving a true course of reasoning. All art is concerned with coming into bei...ng ... for art is concerned neither with things that are, or come into being, by necessity, nor with things that do so in accordance with nature.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
If thinking is like perceiving, it must be either a process in which the soul is acted upon by what is capable of being thought, o...r a process different from but analogous to that. The thinking part of the soul must therefore be, while impassable, capable of receiving the form of an object; that is, must be potentially identical in character with its object without being the object. Mind must be related to what is thinkable, as sense is to what is sensible.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
