All of us love miracles. We just don't like being in a situation that necessitates one.
Whenever I found something remarkable, I have thought it my duty to put down my discovery on paper, so that all ingenious people be informed thereof.
Man has always to be busy with his thoughts if anything is to be accomplished.
I observed certain animalcules, within whole bodies I saw so quick a motion as to exceed belief; they were about the size of a large grain of sand, and their bodies being transparent, that the internal motion could plainly be seen. Among other things, I saw in the body of one of these animalcules a bright and round corpuscle, placed near the head, and in which a very wonderful swift motion was to be seen, consisting of an alternate extension and contraction. This particle I concluded to be the heart.
I've spent more time than many will believe [making microscopic observations], but I've done them with joy, and I've taken no notice those who have said why take so much trouble and what good is it?
In the year 1657 I discovered very small living creatures in rain water.
[M]y work, which I've done for a long time, was not pursued in order to gain the praise I now enjoy, but chiefly from a craving after knowledge, which I notice resides in me more than in most other men. And therewithal, whenever I found out anything remarkable, I have thought it my duty to put down my discovery on paper, so that all ingenious people might be informed thereof.
Those that despise people will never get the best out of others and themselves.
For sure, and we haven't found it yet. I understand why we have come to a time and place where we cannot touch the children at school for obvious reasons. I'm not that old, but back then some teacher would take our arm and squeeze it, and it was not fun.
I'm a student of media and I've always been one. I'm fascinated by the way we make the world around us based on pictures and how can we improve our perception of this picture world.
The troubles came and I saved what I could save. A thread of light, a particle, a wave.
