Why "The Impossible Takes Longer" as the Title for the Blog?

The title of this blog comes from the book, The Impossible Takes Longer -
The 1 000 Wisest Things Ever Said by Nobel Prize Laureates compiled by David Pratt.

The complete quote is:

"The difficult is what takes a little time;
the impossible is what takes a little longer."
-Fidtjof Nansen

I admit I had never heard of Fidtjof Nansen, but after reading a brief biography of this Norwegian explorer who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1992, I am most interested in his wide range of interests and impressive accomplishments.

Write your feelings on the quote or share some further information that you discovered on Fidtjof Nansen.
