“Light is a funny thing. Its wavelength defines what it can and can’t interact with. Anything smaller than the wavelength is functionally nonexistent to that photon. That’s why there’s a mesh over the window of a microwave. The holes in the mesh are too small for microwaves to pass through. But visible light, with a much shorter wavelength, can go through freely. So you get to watch your food cook without melting your face off.”
― Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary

“We may not be cows or buffalo, but we ruminate just the same on our thoughts—unfortunately, primarily negative thoughts. We eat them, and then we bring them up to chew again and again, like a cow chewing its cud.”
― Thich Nhat Hanh, Silence: The Power of Quiet in a World Full of Noise

“Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle.”
― Abraham Lincoln

“When you are dead, you don't know that you are dead. It's pain only for others. It's the same thing when you are stupid.”
― Richard Feynman
