“Physicists are made of atoms. A physicist is an attempt by an atom to understand itself.”
“A physicist is just an atom's way of looking at itself.”
“The beauty of a living thing is not the atoms that go into it, but the way those atoms are put together.”
“Physicists say we are made of stardust. Intergalactic debris and far-flung atoms, shards of carbon nanomatter rounded up by gravity to circle the sun. As atoms pass through an eternal revolving door of possible form, energy and mass dance in fluid relationship. We are stardust, we are man, we are thought. We are story.”
“I... a universe of atoms, an atom in the universe.”
