If I have seen further than others, it is because I am surrounded by dwarfs.
My colleagues in elementary particle theory in many lands [and I] are driven by the usual insatiable curiosity of the scientist, and our work is a delightful game.

How can it be that writing down a few simple and elegant formulae, like short poems governed by strict rules such as those of the sonnet or the waka, can predict universal regularities of Nature?
If you know the wavefunction of the universe, why aren't you rich?
Sometimes the probabilities are very close to certainties, but they're never really certainties
