In the fight between you and the world, back the world. – Paul Dirac
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 poetry, its the exact opposite. – Paul Dirac
I do not see how a man can work on the frontiers of physics and write poetry at the same time. They are in opposition. – Paul Dirac
It seems that if one is working from the point of view of getting beauty in ones equations, and if one has really a sound insight, one is on a sure line of progress. – Paul Dirac
The longer a man lives in this world the more he must be convinced that all domestic quarrels had better never be obtruded on the public; for, let the husband be right, or let him be wrong, there is always a sympathy existing for women which is certain to give the man the worst of it. – Benjamin Haydon
