For An Idea That Does

For Every One Billion Particles Of Antimatter There Were One Billion And One Particles Of Matter. And When The Mutual Annihilation Was Complete, One Billionth Remained - And That's Our Present Universe.

I Am Not More Gifted Than Anybody Else. I Am Just More Curious Than The Average Person And I Will Not Give Up A Problem Until I Have Found The Proper Solution.

I Have Never Looked Upon Ease And Happiness As Ends In Themselves - This Critical Basis I Call The Ideal Of A Pigsty. The Ideals That Have Lighted My Way, And Time After Time Have Given Me New Courage To Face Life Cheerfully, Have Been Kindness, Beauty, And Truth. Without The Sense Of Kinship With Men Of Like Mind, Without The Occupation With The Objective World, The Eternally Unattainable In The Field Of Art And Scientific Endeavors, Life Would Have Seemed Empty To Me. The Trite Objects Of Human Efforts - Possessions, Outward Success, Luxury - Have Always Seemed To Me Contemptible.

The Stakes Are Immense, The Task Colossal, The Time Is Short. But We May Hope - We Must Hope - That Man's Own Creation, Man's Own Genius, Will Not Destroy Him.

The Most Aggravating Thing About The Younger Generation Is That I No Longer Belong To It.
