We Took On Things Which People Might Think Would Take A Year Or Two. They Weren't Particularly Hard. What Was Hard Was Believing They Weren't Hard.

When Arthur Ashe Plays Tennis, His Purpose Each Day Is To Play The Game In A Way He Has Never Played It Before. It May Be A Backhand He Uses, One That He May Never Have Used Before In That Circumstance. His Play Is A Fresh Integration Of His World At The Instant Of Action. A Really Great Scientist Has The Whole Past At His Disposal. At Any Instant He Is Rebuilding The World, Molecule By Molecule, In His Subconscious. That Is What You Want In An Athlete Or A Scientist.

The World Is Like A Fertile Field That's Waiting To Be Harvested. The Seeds Have Been Planted, And What I Do Is Go Out And Help Plant More Seeds And Harvest Them.

There's No Scientist I Know Who Wouldn't Rather Be A Charlatan. And When Circumstances Allow You To Be Both, Why It's Great Fun!

Politeness Is The Poison Of Collaboration.
