• There's a kind of poetic aspect to inert gas. And remember, first of all, they were completely unknown a hundred years earlier. We just didn't know about them. And then when they were discovered in the atmosphere, the idea that this is a material that would breathe in and exhale and becomes part of us for a while made it even more intriguing. The names, the Greek names, are interesting, too - if you translate neon, xenon and so forth are kind of interesting.

It turns out that slow and steady is the best way to overcome your resistance to change.

The problem of translation is to retreat to a simpler tenor of one’s own style and creatively adjust this to one’s author.
