The Happy Bookworm

“He's spending a year dead for tax reasons.”
― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

“Science has taught me that everything is more complicated than we first assume, and that being able to derive happiness from discovery is a recipe for a beautiful life. It has also convinced me that carefully writing everything down is the only real defense we have against forgetting something important that once was and is no more, including the spruce tree that should have outlived me but did not.”
― Hope Jahren, Lab Girl

“If you do not find yourself a galaxy, it is not so bad to find yourself a star.”
― Tamsyn Muir, Gideon the Ninth

“You’ve got two scientists and an engineer and a nun and a lawyer and a banker and a cop and an artist. That’s not a defence force, that’s a cop and six different kinds of nerd.”
― Tamsyn Muir, Nona the Ninth
