“What an astonishing thing a book is. It’s a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you’re inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years. Across the millenia, an author is speaking clearly and silently inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic.” - Carl Sagan

“Who are you to argue with Carl Sagan? You can’t because the man’s dead.” - Rose

Hopefully she comes back. Where else will I learn about how hard and painful studying physics is? She has inspired me to pursue my dream in studying physics as well as rekindled my love for reading.
