I am not a philosopher. I am a physicist.

I think that the most important thing is to be open-minded.

I am not a teacher. I am a student.

I think that the most important thing is to be passionate about what you do.

I am not a leader. I am a follower.

I think that the most important thing is to be humble.

I am not a hero. I am just a man.

I think that the most important thing is to be grateful.

I am not a god. I am a human being.

I think that the most important thing is to be happy.

I have no respect for authority. I only respect knowledge.

The thing that doesn't fit is the thing that is most interesting.

I don't feel frightened by not knowing things, by being lost in a mysterious universe without any purpose, which is the way it really is as far as I can tell.

The only way to have a good idea is to have a lot of ideas.

I have a great deal of difficulty with this idea of 'understanding' something.
