• We have simply arrived too late in the history of the universe to see this primordial simplicity easily... But although the symmetries are hidden from us, we can sense that they are latent in nature, governing everything about us. That's the most exciting idea I know: that nature is much simpler than it looks.

• There must be some other possibility than death or lifelong penance, said the Ellen Ward of my dream, that woman I hate and fear.
