“Interruption, incoherence, surprise are the ordinary conditions of our life. They have even become real needs for many people, whose minds are no longer fed by anything but sudden changes and constantly renewed stimuli. We can no longer bear anything that lasts. We no longer know how to make boredom bear fruit. So the whole question comes down to this: can the human mind master what the human mind has made?”
― Paul Valéry

“Research is the highest form of adoration”
― Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

“A man’s health can be judged by which he takes two at a time—pills or stairs. —Joan Welsh”
― Mark Sisson, The Primal Blueprint: Reprogram your genes for effortless weight loss, vibrant health, and boundless energy

“In this calm and stupid life,
I never know how I should act.”
― Fernando Pessoa
