Quotes by Charles H. Townes (?)

“One has ideas, does experiments, meets people, seeks advice, calls old friends, runs into unexpected remarks, meets new people with new ideas, and in the process finds a career of shifts and often serendipitous meanders that may be rewarding and rich, but is seldom marked by guideposts glimpsed very far in advance.”
― Charles H. Townes, How the Laser Happened: Adventures of a Scientist
