"Not one sperm in a billion accomplishes its life mission--thank goodness--but each is designed and equipped as if everything depended on its success. Sperm are like e-mail spam, so cheap to make and deliver that a vanishly small return rate is sufficient to underwrite the project" (59).
~Nelson Pike (as quoted by Dan Dennett, Breaking the Spell)
