It is up to my spirit to find the truth. But how? Grave uncertainty, each time the spirit feels beyond its own comprehension whenit, the explorer, is altogether to obscure land that it must search and where all its baggage is of no use. To search? That is not all: to create.
Marcel Proust

You are the only person I know who has the same attitude towards physics as I have: belief in the comprehension of reality through something basically simple and unified...

Albert Einstein
