I Do Not See How A Man Can Work On The Frontiers Of Physics And Write Poetry At The Same Time. They Are In Opposition.

A Good Deal Of My Research In Physics Has Consisted In Not Setting Out To Solve Some Particular Problem, But Simply Examining Mathematical Equations Of A Kind That Physicists Use And Trying To Fit Them Together In An Interesting Way, Regardless Of Any Application That The Work May Have. It Is Simply A Search For Pretty Mathematics. It May Turn Out Later To Have An Application. Then One Has Good Luck. At Age 78.

The Methods Of Theoretical Physics Should Be Applicable To All Those Branches Of Thought In Which The Essential Features Are Expressible With Numbers.
