I can’t think of any more human activity than conducting science experiments. Think about it — what do kids do? … They’re turning over rocks, they’re plucking petals off a rose — they’re exploring their environment through experimentation… We explore our environment more than we are compelled to utter poetry when we’re toddlers — we start doing that later. Before that happens, every child is a scientist. And so when I think of science, I think of a truly human activity — something fundamental to our DNA, something that drives curiosity.

pragmatism: T: Kung ikukumpara sa mga nakaraang tanong, bakit tila mas mahirap sagutin ang mga tanong ni Sir?
S: Hindi ko hinangad na pahirapan ang aking mga estudyante. Mag-aaral rin ako. Ngunit layon ng aking tanong na sukatin kung tunay nga bang naintindihan ninyo ang mga konsepto, ideya at teoryang tinalakay natin sa klase at binasa ninyo sa mga kabanata at aklat na tinakda. Hindi sapat na alam natin…

Confession (via Algonquin).
LOVE IT. And Fountain Bookstore is one of my favorite things about Richmond (the food is the other thing).

We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Arabia. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively exceeds the set of actual people. In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here.

Though the road we’re traveling on may seem lonely, look around and look within, and you’ll soon see and know, that you are left never alone. God bless you all.
