Book cover for Faust in Copenhagen: A Struggle for the Soul of Physics
Nor are the fears and anxieties I have been describing special to great physicists. We all have to manage them, if only by finding ways to deny them. My own peculiar technique of dealing with what I hope is a good idea is not to work on it ...more

J.D. Salinger
“I'm sick of not having the courage to be an absolute nobody.”
J.D. Salinger, Franny and Zooey

Tobias Wolff
“A mi la literatura m'ha canviat, m'ha donat una profunditat de consciència que no tenia. M'ha ajudat a veure el món d'un altra manera, m'ha fet més gran el cor. I aquesta passió la sento i la veig en altres persones, inclosos els joves. Les grans obres literàries ens mostren la vida en tota la seva complexitat. La literatura ens ajuda a comprendre les vides dels altres. El tret essencial de la literatura és que ens fa imaginar què significa ser un ésser humà diferent de nosaltres. Si només fos per això la literatura ja tindria un lloc justificat al món, però ens dona més, ens transporta a l'ànima del llenguatge.”
Tobias Wolff

Thornton Wilder
“It is in this sense that responsibility is liberty; the more decisions that you are forced to make alone, the more you are aware of your freedom to choose.”
Thornton Wilder, The Ides of March

Thornton Wilder
“Am I sure that there is no mind behind our existence and no mystery anywhere in the universe? I think I am. What joy, what relief there would be, if we could declare so with complete conviction. If that were so I could wish to live for ever. How terrifying and glorious the role of man if, indeed, without guidance and without consolation he must create from his own rituals the meaning for his existence and write the rules whereby he lives.”
Thornton Wilder, The Ides of March

Jeff Goins
“Everything is practice. Every word you write and action you take is a chance to get better.”
Jeff Goins, You Are A Writer
