• I have often been downcast, but never in despair; I regard our hiding as a dangerous adventure, romantic and interesting at the same time. In my diary I treat all the privations as amusing.

My start has been so very full of interest, and that is the sole reason why I have to laugh at the humorous side of the most dangerous moments.

I need someone to talk science with. I’m married to my work right now. But you never know. One day I could wake up and just do something different. Life is so unpredictable.

Which is fine, because my work can get pretty intense.
