Marie Curie

I tried out various experiments described in treatises on physics and chemistry, and the results were sometimes unexpected.

Reality is on a delay. For you, nothing is now. Realizing this fact is unsettling. If we can only react to the past, how do we manage to navigate the present? It's easy to spiral into a treatise on free will while in the fetal position, overthinking our forever past.

I think all good drama is funny. All the best drama is ultimately very funny. Life is funny. You can't have any honest treatise on life without bumping into some humor.

A great memory is never made synonymous with wisdom, any more than a dictionary would be called a treatise.
