The creation of Physics is the shared heritage of all mankind. East and West, North and South have equally participated in it.

I'm afraid there's a big confusion in the world between nuclear power and nuclear arms.

Mankind spends much more on training pilots of aircraft than it does to train the nuclear reactor operators.

From time immemorial, man has desired to comprehend the complexity of nature in terms of as few elementary concepts as possible.

Personally I would like to see that the nuclear age, in terms of power, does come, because there's no long-term future for developing countries without nuclear power.

Soon I knew the craft of experimental physics was beyond me - it was the sublime quality of patience - patience in accumulating data, patience with recalcitrant equipment - which I sadly lacked.

Politicians - well, first of all, they should get rid of nuclear weapons, I think.
