“Courage is worthy of respect when displayed in the maintenance of legitimate claims and in the repelling of aggressions, bodily or other.

“So if we're all quarks and electrons ..." he begins. What?" We could make love and it would be nothing more than quarks and electrons rubbing together." Better than that," I say. "Nothing really 'rubs together' in the microscopic world. Matter never really touches other matter, so we could make love without any of our atoms touching at all.
