“'Participant' is the incontrovertible new concept given by quantum mechanics. It strikes down the 'observer' of classical theory, the man who stands safely behind the thick glass wall and watches what goes on without taking part. It can't be done, quantum mechanics says it...May the universe in some sense be 'brought into being' by the participation of those who participate?” MenMayDoneUniverseGivenBehindsWatchesHe ManTheoryWallGoes OnConceptsUnityGlassesStrikesThickQuantumParticipationMechanicObserversParticipantsQuantum Mechanics Author:John Archibald Wheeler
“I'd really rather that nobody had a gun, and then nobody would have to worry about it. That would be more my theory. In America, there's this knee-jerk response that more walls and more guns make people safer, and I'm entirely suspect of that way of thinking.” PeopleThinkingWayWould BeAmericaWorryTheoryWallGunResponseKneesSuspectsWay Of ThinkingJerk Author:Ethan Hawke
“I believe the only limitations are the ones that we accept. I know that there is, in theory, a glass ceiling. But I don't believe that it's a solid wall. I'm going through it. Nothing's stopping me. Yes, there are these preconceived notions; yes, we have challenges. Let's accept them, let's not be afraid of them, let's break through them.” KnowsBelieveI BelieveChallengesAcceptingBreakTheoryWallNotionDon't BelieveGlassesLimitationStoppingCeilingsBreak ThroughPreconceived NotionsGlass Ceiling Author:Debbi Fields
“My latest theory is that it's - well, I describe it as, like, being in an apartment with kind of thin walls. And in the apartment next door, they've got a radio tuned constantly on - tuned to a really cool radio station. It's on all the time. And you can just hear it coming through the wall all the time.” WellsKindNextDoorsTheoryWallRadioStationsApartmentReally CoolRadio Stations Author:Nick Lowe
“Science is the process of crash testing ideas: you ram the idea head-on into a brick wall at 60mph, and knowledge is gained by examining the pieces. If the theory is solid, the pieces are from the wall. Then we build a bigger wall.” IfsIdeasProcessPiecesTheoryWallBiggerCrashTestingBricksExaminingRamsBrick Wall Author:Jon Huntsman, Jr.

“A saboteur in the house of art and a comedienne in the house of art theory, Lawler has spent three decades documenting the secret life of art. Functioning as a kind of one-woman CSI unit, she has photographed pictures and objects in collectors' homes, in galleries, on the walls of auction houses, and off the walls, in museum storage.” KindArtHomeThreeHouseSecretObjectsTheoryWallDecadesMuseumsUnitsGalleryCollectorsOne WomanAnd OffSecret LifeStorageAuctionsCsiSaboteurs Author:Jerry Saltz
