“Ultimately, it comes down to taste. It comes down to trying to expose yourself to the best things that humans have done and then try to bring those things into what you're doing. Picasso had a saying: good artists copy, great artists steal.

“It's an experience like no other experience I can describe, the best thing that can happen to a scientist, realizing that something that has happened in his or her mind exactly corresponds to something that happens in nature. One is surprised that a construct of one's own mind can actually be realised in the honest-to-goodness world out there. A great shock, and a great, great joy.” WorldMindI CanHappensJoyRealizingHappenedHonestGoodnessScientistBest ThingsBeing The BestShockConstructsRealisedGreat Joy Author:Leo Kadanoff
“They say, you know, about evolution, it surely happened because their fossil record shows that. Look, my body and your body are miracles of design.
