Anton Chekhov: “The Three Sisters”
Masha: Oh, how the music plays! They are leaving us, one has quite left us, quite and for ever. We remain alone, to begin our life over again. We must live ... we must live. ...
Irina: There will come a time when everybody will know why, for what purpose, there is all this suffering, and there will be no more mysteries. But now we must live ... we must work, just work! Tomorrow, I'll go away alone, and I'll teach and give my whole life to those who, perhaps, need it. It's autumn now, soon it will be winter, the snow will cover everything, and I shall be working, working. ...
Olga: The bands are playing so gaily, so bravely, and one does so want to live! Oh, my God! Time will pass on, and we shall depart for ever, we shall be forgotten; they will forget our faces, voices, and even how many there were of us, but our sufferings will turn into joy for those who will live after us, happiness and peace will reign on earth, and people will remember with kindly words, and bless those who are living now. Oh dear sisters, our life is not yet at an end. Let us live. The music is so gay, so joyful, and, it seems that in a little while we shall know why we are living, why we are suffering. ... If we could only know, if we could only know!

First 7 TeV collisions observed at CERN! →
fuckyeahphysics: Scientists at CERN began this morning with the tedious task of attempting to collide proton beams in the Large Hadron Collider. They were successful almost right away, collecting massive amounts of data and leading the way into a new era of physics.

ck/ck: 500 Characters →
Dear Tumblr, 500 characters is not a whole lot. This post came in at 560 characters and it’s a five line paragraph and change. That is not a lengthy piece of text in any universe. I know Tumblr was never meant as a longform blogging platform but seriously, there’s no reason for a post that short to be reblogged into a link by default as it (unwittingly?) was. And there’s no reason for every...
