“For everything you have missed, you have gained something else, and for everything you gain, you lose something else.”
“Always be a first rate version of yourself and not a second rate version of someone else.”
“never be a second-rate version of someone else, be a first-rate version of yourself”
“always be a first-rate version of your self instead of a second-rate version of someone else.”
“After all, what else is scientific enquiry of any sort other than a controlled version of banging one's head against the universe until something gives?”
