Nature uses only the longest threads to weave her patterns, so that each small piece of her fabric reveals the organization of the entire tapestry.

Each piece, or part, of the whole of nature is always merely an approximation to the complete truth, or the complete truth so far as we know it. In fact, everything we know is only some kind of approximation because we know that we do not know all the laws as yet.

For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled.

Atoms are very special: they like certain particular partners, certain particular directions, and so on. It is the job of physics to analyze why each one wants what it wants.

See that the imagination of nature is far, far greater than the imagination of man.

Reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled.
