Today is the birthday of Brian Greene (born February 9, 1963), theoretical physicist and author."The real question is whether all your pondering and analyses will convince you that life is worth living. That's what it all comes down to."
— Brian Greene
"Physicists are more like avant-garde composers, willing to bend traditional rules and brush the edge of acceptability in the search for solutions. Mathematicians are more like classical composers, typically working within a much tighter framework, reluctant to go to the next step until all previous ones have been established with due rigor. Each approach has its advantages as well as drawbacks; each provides a unique outlet for creative discovery. Like modern and classical music, it’s not that one approach is right and the other wrong – the methods one chooses to use are largely a matter of taste and training."
— Brian Greene
"I have long thought that anyone who does not regularly - or ever - gaze up and see the wonder and glory of a dark night sky filled with countless stars loses a sense of their fundamental connectedness to the universe."
— Brian Greene
"The boldness of asking deep questions may require unforeseen flexibility if we are to accept the answers."
— Brian Greene
