Pick A Flower On Earth And You

I Think It Is A Peculiarity Of Myself That I Like To Play About With Equations, Just Looking For Beautiful Mathematical Relations Which Maybe Don't Have Any Physical Meaning At All. Sometimes They Do. At Age 60.

There Are Always More People Who Prefer To Speak Than To Listen.

The Physicist, In His Study Of Natural Phenomena, Has Two Methods Of Making Progress: (1) The Method Of Experiment And Observation, And (2) The Method Of Mathematical Reasoning. The Former Is Just The Collection Of Selected Data; The Latter Enables One To Infer Results About Experiments That Have Not Been Performed. There Is No Logical Reason Why The Second Method Should Be Possible At All, But One Has Found In Practice That It Does Work And Meets With Reasonable Success.

Living Is Worthwhile If One Can Contribute In Some Small Way To This Endless Chain Of Progress.

It Is Quite Clear That Beauty Does Depend On One's Culture And Upbringing For Certain Kinds Of Beauty, Pictures, Literature, Poetry And So On...but Mathematical Beauty Is Of A Rather Different Kind. I Should Say Perhaps It Is Of A Completely Different Kind And Transcends These Personal Factors. It Is The Same In All Countries And At All Periods Of Time.
