How Things Should Be
This is where I reblog things that remind me of what I want my writing to be like, to so I have something to look at when I want inspiration. I don't know why it's public. Probably because there isn't any real reason to be private.
"It is sometimes said that scientists are unromantic, that their passion to figure out robs the world of beauty and mystery. But is it not stirring to understand how the world actually works—that white light is made of colours, that colour is the way we perceive the wavelengths of light, that transparent air reflects light, that in so doing it discriminates among the waves, and that the sky is blue for the same reason that the sunset is red? It does no harm to the romance of the sunset to know a little bit about it"
