There's a lot of cultural pressure around specialness and seeing your family. I feel like everything gets jacked up a little bit because of all of these expectations of love and family bonding.

Rather than look at a marriage as two people morphing into one thing, you could see two individuals who are choosing to form a partnership.

There's something really nice about missing the person you're with. To have someone be apart enough to force independence and to also look forward to seeing that person.

However fast you run, or however skilfully, you can’t run away from your own feet.

We are articulate but we are not particularly conversational. An Englishman won't talk for the sake of talking. He doesn't mind silence. But after the silence he sometimes says something.

There is nothing wrong with making mistakes. Just don't respond with encores.

The Mediterranean diet is rich in fruits and vegetables while low in sodium. It is also enriched with olive oil, high in antioxidants as well as monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats.

In other studies you go as far as other have gone before you, and there is nothing more to know; but in a scientific pursuit there is continual food for discovery and wonder.
