Forest Nymph By Hans Heyerdahl (1890)

This. Just this.

It’s finals but. But. My procrastination brain can’t turn off and it’s past midnight I’ve done maybe an hour of studying. All I’ve done is read fan fiction and watch new competition shows, manhua, and anime I have a problem.

Always go for the good luck.

Love this comic and character.

From Doctor Octopus: Year One.

What an amazing woman, and a personal heroine for me. She's part of what made me fall in love with radiation and want to study it. 💗

"Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less".

"Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something and that this thing must be attained".

"I am one of those who think like Nobel, that humanity will draw more good than evil from new discoveries".

"If I had not been taught chemical analysis by prof. Milicer and dr. Kossakowski in Warsaw, I would not have isolated radium".

"I am among those who think that science has great beauty. A scientist in his laboratory is not only a technician: he is also a child placed before natural phenomena which impress him like a fairy tale".

"Humanity also needs dreamers, for whom the disinterested development of an enterprise is so captivating that it becomes impossible for them to devote their care to their own material profit".

"You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end each of us must work for his own improvement, and at the same time share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be most useful".

"I was taught that the way of progress was neither swift nor easy".

— Maria Skłodowska Curie

Art to nice not to reblog. I find the snake interesting as he seems to be protecting the woman.

Honey buzzards are hard as fuck! I did not know they rolled like this. Here we have one indulging in some sweet honey, not giving a single fuck about the swarm of bees attacking it. Apparently it's because they have tightly packed, scale-like feathers that acts as armor. - 🎥Credit to ©Rahul's Wildscape on YouTube.
