This book is about physics and its about physics and its relationship with mathematics and how they seem to be intimately related and to what extent can you explore this relationship and trust it.
It is true that women tend to be more identified with their bodies because in this crazy world both men and women measure women's value as human beings in relationship to their physical appearance.
I cannot imagine having a physical relationship with a woman. I have not done that. But I really love women.
The cinema began with a passionate physical relationship between celluloid and the artists and craftsmen and technicians who handled it manipulated it and came to know it the way a lover comes to know every inch of the body of the beloved. No matter where the cinema goes we cannot afford to lose sight of its beginnings.
There is a physical relationship with a woman that you don't have with anybody else but that's not about love. Love is a spiritual thing.
When one has love for God one doesn't feel any physical attraction to wife children relatives and friends. One retains only compassion for them.
Almost all of our relationships begin and most of them continue as forms of mutual exploitation a mental or physical barter to be terminated when one or both parties run out of goods.
Spiritual relationship is far more precious than physical. Physical relationship divorced from spiritual is body without soul.
I say the law should be blind to race gender and sexual orientation just as it claims to be blind to wealth and power. There should be no specially protected groups of any kind except for children the severely disabled and the elderly whose physical frailty demands society's care.
Just as Pollock used the drip to meld process and product Richter 'found' and used the smudge and the blur to ravish the eye creating works of psychic and physical power.
The only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community against his will is to prevent harm to others. His own good either physical or moral is not sufficient warrant.
The struggle for existence holds as much in the intellectual as in the physical world. A theory is a species of thinking and its right to exist is coextensive with its power of resisting extinction by its rivals.
Liberty according to my metaphysics is a self-determining power in an intellectual agent. It implies thought and choice and power.
The fundamental concept in social science is Power in the same sense in which Energy is the fundamental concept in physics.
When every physical and mental resources is focused one's power to solve a problem multiplies tremendously.
So we have choice and sometimes it seems very hard but the best way to heal physically or emotionally is to keep positive.
Local politics like everything else are not what they used to be. But the fact is that our political system - like our physical existence - still breaks down along geographical lines.
Some Marines made fun of the fact that I had done plays and studied poetry but then I won the award for physical training.
The end of poetry is not to create a physical condition which shall give pleasure to the mind... The end of poetry is not an after-effect not a pleasurable memory of itself but an immediate constant and even unpleasant insistence upon itself.
I do not see how a man can work on the frontiers of physics and write poetry at the same time. They are in opposition.
The nerds are my favourite sort of boys - any guy with a passion - whether it be physics or film or writing or poetry even I think it's super sweet and it's very attractive for a female.
Poetry is also the physical self of the poet and it is impossible to separate the poet from his poetry.
It's always a combination of physics and poetry that I find inspiring. It's hard to wrap your head around things like the Hubble scope.
If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off I know that is poetry.
I get up go and get a coffee and go do the crossword - I'm loyal to one particular paper the 'Guardian' - and that's my idea of a perfect morning.
