Experimenters don’t come in late—they never went home.

Science should have no less lofty a goal. My ambition is to live to see all of physics reduced to a formula so elegant and simple that it will fit easily on the front of a T-shirt.

The real goal of physics is to come up with an equation that could explain the universe but still be small enough to fit on a T-shirt

Physics isn't a religion. If it were, we'd have a much easier time raising money.

By the grace of AEC, BNL, God, Green and Hayworth (alphabetical order), we should see neutrinos.

The physicists defer only to mathematicians, and the mathematicians defer only to God.

Theorists tend to peak at an early age; the creative juices tend to gush very early and start drying up past the age of fifteen-or so it seems. They need to know just enough; when they're young they haven't accumulated the intellectual baggage.
