Found this ages ago somewhere on reddit, saved it and later on even put it up on my Steam profile (among a few other quotes n things).

I like this quote because everything about it is true. We're constantly learning new things every day and there's so many things we just don't know about our universe in general. New discoveries are made each and every day. Knowledge is ever expanding.

It’s always wild to think about how far you can push these components before they hit their limit (or turn into a crispy snack). Do you still experiment with overclocking, or was that more of a past hobby?
