Quote Of The Day

"When a man sits with a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute. But let him sit on a hot stove for a minute and it‘s longer than any hour. That‘s relativity. "

--Albert Einstein, physicist, Nobel laureate (1879-1955), Journal of Exothermic Science and Technology (JEST, Vol. 1, No. 9; 1938)

I remembered how Albert Camus talks about the concept of resistance. The idea is that if you see that you cannot win, do everything in your power to resist. And that memory gave me the determination I needed.
