This quote from Dr. Peter Dawson:
To my God…
“…the architect of the masticatory system. The more I understand the logic behind its beautifully integrated design, the more I realize its every element was planned by a loving creator. The words of affection that we speak, the smiles we share, the songs we sing, and the kisses we give to our loved ones are possible only because an element of love was integrated into this design.”
