“In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in the case of poetry, it's the exact opposite!”
“It was a good description to say that it was a game, a very interesting game one could play. Whenever one solved one of the little problems, one could write a paper about it. It was very easy in those days for any second-rate physicist to do first-rate work. There has not been such a glorious time since then.”
“If there is no complete agreement between the results of one's work and the experiment, one should not allow oneself to be too discouraged.”
“The measure of greatness in a scientific idea is the extent to which it stimulates thought and opens up new lines of research.”
“My research work was based in pictures. I needed to visualise things and projective geometry was often most useful e.g. in figuring out how a particular quantity transforms under Lorentz transf[ormation]. When I came to publish the results I suppressed the projective geometry as the results could be expressed more concisely in analytic form.”
“I was taught at school never to start a sentence without knowing the end of it.”
