Kathryn Stockett
“He needs "space" and "time," as if this were physics and not a human relationship.”
Kathryn Stockett, The Help

Werner Heisenberg
“I remember discussions with Bohr which went through many hours till very late at night and ended almost in despair; and when at the end of the discussion I went alone for a walk in the neighbouring park I repeated to myself again and again the question: Can nature possibly be so absurd as it seemed to us in these atomic experiments?”
Werner Heisenberg
