Sir Arthur Eddington, Stars and Atoms (1928), Lecture 1 quotes
"I ask you to look both ways. For the road to a knowledge of the stars leads through the atom; and important knowledge of the atom has been reached through the stars."
History balances the frustration of how far we have to go with the satisfaction of how far we have come. It teaches us tolerance
Cultivate solitude and quiet and a few sincere friends, rather than mob merriment, noise and thousands of nodding acquaintances.
"I ask you to look both ways. For the road to a knowledge of the stars leads through the atom; and important knowledge of the atom has been reached through the stars."
