"Memory is a strange thing, it doesn't work like I thought it did. We are so used to thinking of it as a camera or a tape recorder, but it's not like that at all. It's more like a painter, who adds and subtracts elements according to his own rules."

A painting must be beautiful in itself, not because it represents something beautiful.

Science is a collaborative symphony, not a solo performance.

You must be filled with expectancy. You must be awash in hope.
