“The fundamental biological variant is DNA. That is why Mendel's definition of the gene as the unvarying bearer of hereditary traits, its chemical identification by Avery (confirmed by Hershey), and the elucidation by Watson and Crick of the structural basis of its replicative invariance, are without any doubt the most important discoveries ever made in biology. To this must be added the theory of natural selection, whose certainty and full significance were established only by those later theories.”

Jacques Monod, Chance and Necessity“Hershey Pennsylvania was self-proclaimed as the “Sweetest Place On Earth,” but less advertised than chocolate, it was also home to one of the state’s largest Children’s Hospitals. The streets lined with Hershey Kiss–shaped streetlamps that led excited children and families on vacation to chocolate tour rides and rollercoasters were the same exact streets that led anxious children and families to x-rays and MRIs on the worsts days of their lives. Chocolate was being created on the same street that childhood diseases were being diagnosed. And that was life. The sweetest of sensations and the deepest of devastations live next door to each other.”
Tessa Shaffer, Heaven Has No Regrets“Yes, it was love at first sight. I feel that after all these years, I have finally found my soul mate.”
Barbara Hershey“We measure success and depth by length and time but it is possible to have a deep relationship that doesn't always stay the same.”
Barbara Hershey“Do give books - religious or otherwise - for Christmas. They're never fattening seldom sinful and permanently personal.”
Lenore Hershey“I'm afraid of being lazy and complacent. I'm afraid of taking myself too seriously.”
Barbara Hershey“Strength is the capacity to break a Hershey bar into four pieces with your bare hands - and then eat just one of the pieces.”
Judith Viorst, Love & Guilt & The Meaning Of Life, Etc“Humans love truth and justice, and rejoice in ceremonies that honor those qualities. For that sentiment we should indeed thank God.”
Alfred Day Hershey“I'm pretty sure that eating chocolate keeps wrinkles away because I have never seen a 10 year old with a Hershey bar and crows feet.”
