"For all its beauty, honesty, and effectiveness at improving the human condition, science demands a terrible price - that we accept what experiments tell us about the universe, whether we like it or not.

It was suddenly perfectly clear. I understood, I need to write. Live here, in my words, and my head. I need to go inside, thatâ€™s all. No big, complicated, difficult thing. I just need to go in reverse. And not worry about what to write about, but just write. Or, if Iâ€™m going to worry about what to write, then do this worrying on paper, so at least Iâ€™m writing and will have a record of the anxiety.”
