Summary

This quote suggests that imagination plays a crucial role in scientific advancement, just as learning and precision are necessary for its foundation. While knowledge and accuracy form the basis of scientific inquiry, it is imagination that allows scientists to think beyond existing boundaries, to ask bold questions, and to propose innovative ideas. Imagination fuels curiosity and creativity, enabling scientists to explore uncharted territories and make groundbreaking discoveries. Without imagination, science would be limited to building upon existing knowledge rather than breaking new ground.

The way I look at love is you have to follow it, and fall hard, if you fall hard. You have to forget about what everyone else thinks. It has to be an us-against-the-world mentality. You have to make it work by prioritizing it, and by falling in love really fast, without thinking too hard. If I think too hard about a relationship I'll talk myself out of it. I have rules for a lot of areas of my life. Love is not going to be one of them.
