The feeling for what ought and ought not to be grows and dies like a tree, and no fertilizer of any kind will do much good.

My scientific work is motivated by an irresistible longing to understand the secrets of nature not by other feelings.
Albert Einstein

Quantum mechanics is certainly imposing. But an inner voice tells me that this is not yet the real thing. The theory says a lot, but does not bring us any closer to the secrets of the Old One. I, at any rate, am convinced that He is not playing at dice.

The thing is, not to stop questioning.
