"One of my greatest passions, besides literature, is to tinker in private with agricultural machinery. I am particularly fond of John Deere tractors. But lately old Yamaha machines from the 90s have caught my deeper interest. Just kidding… I have no idea why I read this book." — 9 hours, 6 min ago

The fact that it {universe} spawned such plenitude is a miracle...”

“The universe began as an enormous breath being held. Who knows why, but whatever the reason, I'm glad it did, because I owe my existence to that fact. All my desires and ruminations are no more and no less than eddy currents generated by the gradual exhalation of our universe. And until this great exhalation is finished, my thoughts live on.”
― Ted Chiang, Exhalation
