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

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

Richard Ford
“Life's passed along to us empty. We have to make up the happiness part.”
Richard Ford, Canada

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

“No es solo que las empresas de redes sociales vendan nuestros datos personales a terceros para ganar dinero con nosotros, no es solo que se haya abandonado la comunicación cara a cara en favor de la tarea más propia de Sísifo de actualizar el timeline de Facebook, sino que todas las relaciones humanas se han reconfigurado según la normalidad de las compras. Los amantes se han convertido en productos desechables, los amigos de Facebook se descartan cuando no satisfacen al cliente, los conflictos personales se evitan en favor de unas reseñas anónimas más tóxicas que las que daríamos a una aspiradora que funciona mal. Bauman señala que las aptitudes sociales declinan cuando tratamos a «otros seres humanos como objetos de consumo y los juzgamos, por el patrón de los objetos de consumo, según el nivel de placer que nos garantizan [...]. En el mejor de los casos, los otros son nuestros compañeros en la actividad esencialmente solitaria del consumo».”
Stuart Jeffries, Everything, All the Time, Everywhere: How We Became Postmodern
