“Let your autobiography contain these words; "I was able to think positively, love affectionately and work efficiently". Thinking, loving and working are what make us different from animals and trees.”
“We were talking of DRAGONS, Tolkien and I
In a Berkshire bar. The big workman

“Behave like the flower; it blooms with its own petals without bothering to take the colour of another flower’s petals. You can excel with what you have!”
“I fully agree with you about the significance and educational value of methodology as well as history and philosophy of science. So many people today - and even professional scientists - seem to me like somebody who has seen thousands of trees but has never seen a forest.

Be kind to yourself, because beating yourself up for every mistake is another bad habit that needs to be broken.”
