For the past few years, I've been more selective than I have any right to be, but I think that's finally starting to work in my favor.

Eventually I lost the idea that I could have a career. I thought I was too old. ↗

The atmosphere of libraries, lecture rooms and laboratories is dangerous to those who shut themselves up in them too long. It separates us from reality like a fog. ↗
