More on domination
I am a perfectionist. This job is a total ego thing in a way. To be a designer and say, ‘This is the way they should dress; this is the way their homes should look; this is the way the world should be.’ But then, that’s the goal: world domination through style.
Tom FordTom Ford Those traits that pass into hybrid association entirely or almost entirely unchanged, thus themselves representing the traits of the hybrid, are termed dominating and those that become latent in the association, recessive.
Gregor MendelGregor Mendel ART is domination. It’s making people think that for that precise moment in time there is only one way, one voice. Yours.
Maria CallasMaria Callas In this generation, along with the dominating traits, the recessive ones also reappear, their individuality fully revealed, and they do so in the decisively expressed average proportion of 3:1, so that among each four plants of this generation three receive the dominating and one the recessive characteristic.
Gregor MendelGregor Mendel If A denotes one of the two constant traits, for example, the dominating one, a the recessive, and the Aa the hybrid form in which both are united, then the expression: gives the series for the progeny of plants hybrid in a pair of differing traits.
Gregor MendelGregor Mendel Those who do not have power over the story that dominates their lives, power to retell it, to rethink it, deconstruct it, joke about it, and change it as times change, truly are powerless, because they cannot think new thoughts.
Salman RushdieSalman Rushdie I’m truly sorry man’s dominion has broken Nature’s social union.
Robert BurnsRobert Burns We must be for ourselves in the long run; the mild and generous are only more justly selfish than the domineering.
