Max Planck
“As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clearheaded science, to the study of matter, I can tell you as a result of my research about the atoms this much: There is no matter as such! All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particles of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. . . .

“My interest is to point out to you that you can walk, and please throw away all those crutches. If you are really handicapped, I wouldn’t advise you to do any such thing.

That’s all that I can say. ‘If I fall....’ - that is your fear. Put the crutches away, and you are not going to fall.”
U.G. Krishnamurti

Paul Kalanithi, When Breath Becomes Air
