Marriage is socialism among two people.

Most of the fundamental ideas of science are essentially simple, and may, as a rule, be expressed in a language comprehensible to everyone.

Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex... It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction.

It is frequently the tragedy of the great artist, as it is of the great scientist, that he frightens the ordinary man.

There's no tragedy in life like the death of a child. Things never get back to the way they were.

Few women, I fear, have had such reason as I have to think the long sad years of youth were worth living for the sake of middle age.

I feel impelled to speak today in a language that in a sense is new-one which I, who have spent so much of my life in the military profession, would have preferred never to use. That new language is the language of atomic warfare.

Language is much closer to film than painting is.

The most important thing for a good marriage is to learn how to argue peaceably.

I think that marriage is an amazing institution and should be preserved, and you can have great marriages, and you must because sharing your life with someone is like the greatest thing. And I loved being able to set a good example for that on television.

Poetry should help, not only to refine the language of the time, but to prevent it from changing too rapidly.

Every man of genius sees the world at a different angle from his fellows, and there is his tragedy.

I am the most well-adjusted human being I know. I started out this investigation as a very happy man with a great career. I've got the life people dream about: I am rich, I am famous, I've got a fabulous marriage to an absolutely, spell-bindingly brilliant woman.

I have a very intense marriage.
