[Constance Bennett] never tired of acting, said Peter Plant. “She liked it, she enjoyed it, and she worked very hard at it. When she was making a film, she would really be busy preparing for the next day’s scenes. I would visit her for half an hour, and then she would go back to her script. She had what her father had, a photographic memory. Richard Bennett, I understand, could read a play through once, and he knew the whole play, and everyone else’s cues. I have the good fortune to have inherited that, and it’s made many people think me more intelligent than I am. ↗

Life is not made of atoms,it is merely built out of them. What life is actually 'made of' is cycles of cause and effect, loops of causal flow. These phenomenon are just as real as atoms - perhaps even more real. If anything, the entire universe is actually made from events, of which atoms are merely some of the consequences. ↗
