Marie Curie: “You know that shit’ll kill you, right?”

She could not know that, because it was discovered only when it was too late for her.
Francis of Assisi. How did he come to such peace with nature.
I'd kinda wanna ask the world's most famous artists what their opinion was on a machine that could convert words to images.
Anyone who was at Yalta, wtf did they actually decide and plan for the world
