Don't they know science doesn't work like that? You can't just order scientific breakthroughs. They happen when you are looking at something you've been working on for years and suddenly see a connection you never noticed before, or when you're looking for something else altogether. Sometimes they even happen by accident. Don't they know you can't get a scientific breakthrough just because you want one?

I feel like a lot of the female relationships I see on TV or in movies are in some way free of the kind of jealousy and anxiety and posturing that has been such a huge part of my female friendships, which I hope lessens a little bit with age.

Lena Dunham

The brave man carves out his fortune, and every man is the son of his own works.

Miguel de Cervantes

Whoever heard of La-ing or Lo-ing somebody you're herding goats with, or laughing with, or making love with.

Samuel R. Delany
