I quite agree with them that it is not an ennobling experience. Poverty entails fear, and stress, and sometimes depression; it means a thousand petty humiliations and hardships. Climbing out of poverty by your own efforts, that is indeed something on which to pride yourself, but poverty itself is romanticised only by fools.

"The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes."

I’m not a perfectionist, but I like to feel that things are done well.

The world needs science, and science needs the world.
