Stayed up late watching videos about quantum mechanics and taking notes like the weirdo I am. My brain has a constant need for new information and understanding of things. I do my best to feed it.
notes
Mors sceptra ligonibus aequat
“Death makes sceptres and shovels equal.”

Mors vltima linea rerum
“Death, the final boundary of things.”

Divitiis flores, et maiorum nobilitate te iactas, et exsultas de pulchritudine corporis et honoribus qui tibi ab hominibus deferuntur. Respice te ipsum, quia mortalis es, et quia terra es, et in terram ibis.

“You flourish in wealth, and boast of the society of the great and powerful; you rejoice in the beauty of the body and the honours which men pay to you. Consider yourself, that you are mortal, that you are earth, and into the earth you shall go.”
