I believe that no endeavor that is worthwhile is simple in prospect; if it is right, it will be simple in retrospect. - Edward Teller

Two paradoxes are better than one; they may even suggest a solution.

By having simplified what is known, physicists have been led into realms which as yet are anything but simple. That at some time, they, too, will appear as simple consequences of a theory of which no one has yet dreamed is not a statement of fact. It is a statement of faith.

I believe in excellence. It is a basic need of every human soul. All of us can be excellent, because, fortunately, we are exceedingly diverse in our ambitions and talents.
