“Ironically, a species of resilient bacteria—in fact, the same species in each case—was found in both a NASA and an ESA clean room. Clearly, nature abhors a sterile room and is very determined to visit Mars.”

“In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.

“A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”
― Albert Einstein
