“There’s an opposite to déjà vu. They call in jamais vu. It’s when you meet the same person or visit places again and again,but each time is the first . Everybody is always a stranger. Nothing is ever familiar.”

Look at you comforting others with words you wish to hear.

If you don't support the artists, content creators, and sex workers you claim you love so much with tips/purchases or reblogs/retweets, don't be surprised when they stop creating for the internet and their profiles disappear. I've seen it happen to many people over the years who were honestly really creative and cool as fuck, they were discouraged from putting in so much effort and not get enough support. It costs nothing to hit 🔄.
Don't believe nostalgia, it blurs the edges of knives and makes them look like candles.
after a walk, suddenly realizing what an concept ACTUALLY means
crying when you don't
feeling true joy after solving a difficult problem
remembering an specific equation just because of a interesting story about the scientist who created it
being legitimately impressed by Mendeleev (dude was great)
being pretentious about the amount of work you do
reading centuries old science magazine and writing what's changed on your journal
"Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less".
"Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something and that this thing must be attained".
"I am one of those who think like Nobel, that humanity will draw more good than evil from new discoveries".
"If I had not been taught chemical analysis by prof. Milicer and dr. Kossakowski in Warsaw, I would not have isolated radium".
"I am among those who think that science has great beauty. A scientist in his laboratory is not only a technician: he is also a child placed before natural phenomena which impress him like a fairy tale".
"Humanity also needs dreamers, for whom the disinterested development of an enterprise is so captivating that it becomes impossible for them to devote their care to their own material profit".
"You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end each of us must work for his own improvement, and at the same time share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be most useful".
"I was taught that the way of progress was neither swift nor easy".
A father warns his daughter about men's intentions, their shallowness and crudeness; a father thereby warns his daughter about himself, his past self, too. I am a man, I know what it is to be a man; I was like them, and now I must warn you about them. I am warning you about myself; be careful.
