“For puritans of whatever faith, God is in the detail.”

“In fact, meta- and particle physicists have more in common than one might suppose: both tug, if in slightly different directions, at the knots which hold the cosmos together, both look beyond the immediate world of sense perception into one where cause can only be deduced from effect - a quark is as invisible as an angel; both are confronted by Manichaean polarities - miracles and black magic, cheap energy versus total destruction.”

“Perfume the literature you write with only the finest inks,
for literature works are luscious girls, and ink their precious perfume.
