As Tift Merritt wrote, "If [my interviews for the podcast series] the Spark has taught me anything, it’s that following the itch of a question without foregone conclusion or transactional reasoning is a really meaningful way to make a go of this life."
For anyone else happening across these comments, David Roberts has a cool post where he weaves together themes from Leo Tolstoy, Alanis Morissette, and Friedrich Nietzsche (plus Conan the Barbarian!):
Great post.
The quote was terrific and the story of Rita inspiring. I kept thinking about Primo Levi/The Periodic Table, one of my favorite books.
Look forward to future posts!
Thanks, David! Truly appreciate your recommendation of Primo Levi's writing. (And yes, Rita Levi-Montalcini's story is very inspiring.)
