  3. Numb3rs x Curiosity

    Sometimes I feel like Charlie, minus the genius. Everybody thinks I have all the answers and solutions. And expect me to fulfill my potential. I feel like I’m always doing less than I should.
    Sometimes I feel like Don, minus the toughness. Everybody thinks I don’t need any help, ever. And expect me to do everything without complain. I feel like I’m always failing and missing something.

    Sometimes I feel like both…

    But today I was Larry… in Mars! And it reminds me how small we are in the Universe, and yet we can do great things.
    I’ll never know everything and I’ll always miss something. But I’ll keep trying!

    Thanks, Curiosity! God bless us all.

    Don Eppes (Rob Morrow), Charlie Eppes (David Krumholtz), Larry Fleinhardt (Peter MacNicol) (NUMB3RS 1x02 Uncertainty Principle), and @MarsCuriosity!
