We need to find more advanced skills as this storage technique can only keep the scents identifiable for three years.

This way the scent sample can maintain its freshness for at least three years.

I have three storage units, and that's no lie. Three storage units. All books.

Once the scent caught me on the street in Greenwich Village. I stopped in my tracks and looked around. Where was it coming from? A shop? The trees? A passerby? I could not tell. I only knew the smell made me cry. I stood on the sidewalk in Greenwich Village as people brushed by, and felt suddenly young and terribly open, as if I were waiting for something. I live in an ocean of smell, and the ocean is my mother.

I think we're probably two to three years away from coming up with a technique where we might be able to put an individual in an MRI scanner and say whether an individual is telling the truth or telling a lie. But I think we have the technology. I cannot say with a 100 percent certainty, but I'm cautiously optimistic.

The smell of loving is a difficult one to describe, but if you think of the times when someone has held you close and made you safe, you will remember how it smells just as well as I do.
