I do not see how a man can work on the frontiers of physics and write poetry at the same time. They are in opposition.

The fundamental laws necessary for the mathematical treatment of a large part of physics and the whole of chemistry are thus completely known, and the difficulty lies only in the fact that application of these laws leads to equations that are too complex to be solved.

The electric field in this picture from discrete Faraday lines of force, which are to be treated as physical things, like strings.

In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

In such a theory a bare electron would be inconceivable, since one cannot imagine the end of a piece of string without having the string.

God used beautiful mathematics in creating the world.

The shortage of buyers, which the world is suffering from, is readily understood, not as due to people not wishing to obtain possession of goods, but as people being unwilling to part with something which might earn a regular income in exchange for those goods.

It seems that if one is working from the point of view of getting beauty in one's equations, and if one has really a sound insight, one is on a sure line of progress.

The methods of theoretical physics should be applicable to all those branches of thought in which the essential features are expressible with numbers.
