I feel traveling certainly does broaden the mind. In my case certainly I feel more confident. It gives you a new perspective on the world.

I thought of the infinitely many points that can divide the space between two human hearts.

I do read a lot, and I think in recent years the ratio between the amount of non-fiction and fiction has tipped quite considerably. I did read fiction as a teenager as well, mostly because I was forced to read fiction, of course, to go through high school.

When I was a child, my behavior was far from being what most people would label 'intelligent.' It was often limited, repetitive and anti-social.

I love music. I have a fondness for Chopin, and I very much like his 'Raindrop Prelude.'
