Geography is the key, the crucial accident of birth. A piece of protein could be a snail, a sea lion, or a systems analyst, but it had to start somewhere. This is not science; it is merely metaphor. And the landscape in which the protein "starts" shapes its end as surely as bowls shape water. ↗

Now with all this movie business, everybody's coming around wanting to know everything that's happened since I was four. It's like going to an analyst. ↗
