“He had never known two people could be simultaneously so angry with each other and so much in love.  

And it was love. Without a doubt.”
MsKingBean89, All the Young Dudes

Phoebe Waller-Bridge
“I just think I want someone to tell me how to live my life, Father, because so far, I think I've been getting it wrong.”

“when discussing atoms, language could serve as nothing more than a kind of poetry.”
Benjamín Labatut, When We Cease to Understand the World

Benjamín Labatut
“We can pull atoms apart, peer back at the first light and predict the end of the universe with just a handful of equations, squiggly lines and arcane symbols that normal people cannot fathom, even though they hold sway over their lives. But it's not just regular folks; even scientists no longer comprehend the world. Take quantum mechanics, the crown jewel of our species, the most accurate, far-ranging and beautiful of all our physical theories. It lies behind the supremacy of our smartphones, behind the Internet, behind the coming promise of godlike computing power. It has completely reshaped our world. We know how to use it, it works as if by some strange miracle, and yet there is not a human soul, alive or dead, who actually gets it. The mind cannot come to grips with its paradoxes and contradictions. It's as if the theory had fallen to earth from another planet, and we simply scamper around it like apes, toying and playing with it, but with no true understanding.”
Benjamín Labatut, When We Cease to Understand the World

Benjamín Labatut
“in tranquil silence, neither feeling the passage of time nor paying attention to what was occurring in the outside world.”
Benjamín Labatut, When We Cease to Understand the World
