"The driver was smart...You cripple a child, you pay disabilities fine for their entire life. But if you kill them, you pay the funeral fee once. And that's only if you're caught..."

I heard the exact same thing from a truck driver...

So far my favorite chapter is Saving the Filipino Patient. The stark contrast when Doc Baticulon compared how much of a fighting chance a 10 year old boy from Melbourne has compared to a 10 year old boy from Manila gives me the chills. And the line "No wonder 5 year survival rates approach figures I only get to read in journals and textbooks, often even better" 😢

So when Leo and the gang were travelling north towards Quebec, i just realized that they did it while the sun is up....and they were riding a metal dragon... Wouldnt that be hot.

"Of all the mortals on the earth, there are only a few the gods will ever hear of. Consider the practicalities. By the time we learn their names, they are dead. They must be meteors indeed to catch our attention. The merely good: you are dust to us."

I like Hermes and also the drastic change in Circe. And also poor Daedalus, with Pasiphaë's constant cruelty to him and Icarus.
Oh yeah, YOU GO CIRCE TELL THEM TO FUCK OFF

Wow Perse is one thirsty bitch

this is interesting hmm

"this what independence really means: self discipline."

wow this chapter is v engaging.

How do we keep in the forefront of our minds the simple fact that we live in an indescribably wonderful world? It's not easy. Routine dulls the eye and ear. Repetition and familiarity fog the capacity for astonishment

"...They will explain the physical world to you, I thought, They may show you how to blueprint the atom. They may give you a map of the spiral nebulae. But who will help you know yourself?"

whoop. it's been a while since I picked up this book.

One of my most fav chapter is The Secret. I just find it so charming and inspiring. Aw 💜
