“Other people were turning in their papers and I still hadn't written a word. I was starting to panic until out of the blue I remembered my father saying that Jews answered questions with more questions. So that's what I did.”

“I sought for (and sometimes achieved) an intense concentration, a complete absorption in the worlds of mineralogy and chemistry and physics, in science – focusing on them, holding myself together in the chaos...create my own world from the neutrality and beauty of nature, so that I would not be swept into the chaos, the madness, the seduction,”
― Oliver Sacks, Uncle Tungsten

“I'm a very ordinary man who's worked and fed like everyone else. I'm no longer afraid of dying, but death doesn't seem to want anything to do with me, now that I can see no point in living. I'm afraid he's forgotten me.”
― Émile Zola, The Attack on the Mill and Other Stories
