“The elementary parts of all tissues are formed of cells in an analogous, though very diversified manner, so that it may be asserted, that there is one universal principle of development for the elementary parts of organisms, however different, and that this principle is the formation of cells.”
-- Theodor Schwann -
“The principal result of my investigation is that a uniform developmental principle controls the individual elementary units of all organisms, analogous to the finding that crystals are formed by the same laws in spite of the diversity of their forms.”
-- Theodor Schwann -
“The cause of nutrition and growth resides not in the organism as a whole but in the separate elementary parts-the cells.”
-- Theodor Schwann
