The long-lived K meson was discovered at Brookhaven.

I was much involved in the development of the spark chamber as a practical research tool.

The long-lived K meson was discovered at Brookhaven.

I did a thesis in experimental nuclear physics under the direction of Samuel K. Allison.

Our whole family assembles in Chicago at Christmas and usually in Aspen in the summer.

While at Chicago my interest in the new field of particle physics was stimulated by a course given by Gell- Mann, who was developing his ideas about Strangeness at the time.

The Director of the Laboratory, George Reynolds, was most supportive of my efforts to work independently. There followed for ten years a glorious time for research.

My mother, Dorothy Watson, had met my father in a Greek class at Northwestern University.

On even the worst days, when nothing was working at the lab, I knew that at home I would find warmth, peace, companionship, and encouragement. As a consequence, the next day would surely be better.

During this period, with a series of excellent students, we further studied hyperon decays.

When the violation of parity was discovered I began a series of electronic experiments to investigate parity violation in hyperon decays.

One of the greatest joys in my life was giving a lecture in French at the College de France.

In addition to the research, I enjoyed learning French and assimilating the culture of another country.

My real education began when I entered the University of Chicago in September 1951 as a graduate student.

In 1971 I returned to the University of Chicago as Professor of Physics.

My primary and secondary education was provided by the Highland Park Public School System.

You've got Corey Feldman doing his thing, and the problem is, they're trying to be pop stars. You can't compare Salty to any of the other actors out there playing music.

This country-right-or-wrong business is getting a little out-of-date.. History is moving pretty quickly these days and the heroes and villains keep on changing parts.

We have over an hour of footage with Ken Marino. Same with Kevin Smith. Because you never know, when you let people who are so talented at improv go, what you're going to get. You don't want to strangle them with your own words, because probably what they're going to say is way better.

Fvery time Anthony and I are supposed to fight, the lines come out, and it's like we're dead even. It's like people don't know what to make of a fight between Daniel Cormier and Anthony Johnson, when in reality, it should be very easy to know what to make of a fight between me and Anthony Johnson.

White artists have made millions of dollars off music they stole from black artists. I don't blame all the white artists. I'm a huge Stevie Ray Vaughn fan, and he was always very gracious about where he learned his music. But a lot of the time, you'd think the white guys thought it up. Hey, hasn't anyone heard of Muddy Waters?

I have to tell you that I love people. When I see the kids coming up and see what they have done with the music, it's amazing.

I don't feel I can speak with authority for many other people.

In India, there are real consequences to inattention; drivers who jeopardize pedestrians can be lynched on the spot.

Its better to be last in the traffic lane than first in the funeral procession.

I often obsess so much about things that I can't get done, that I ruin other things.

Bring diversity back to agriculture. That's what made it work in the first place.

I can't add. I don't understand basic science. Or anything else. But I can read anything. I've always been able to, and I've always liked to. Even if I didn't understand it, I liked to.

The best way to avoid falling prey to the opinions of others is to realize that other people's opinions are just that - opinions. Regardless of how great or terrible they think you are, that's only their opinion. Your true self-worth comes from within.

Why must art be static? You look at an abstraction, sculptured or painted, an entirely exciting arrangement of planes, spheres, nuclei, entirely without meaning. It would be perfect, but it is always still. The next step in sculpture is motion.

Celibacy is the worst form of self-abuse.

Of course, people told me, 'Mikey, you will never be an actor. You don't have the look. You're ugly.'

Law is not a profession at all, but rather a business service station and repair shop.

I think one of the saving illusions of the film business is everything seems like it's about to happen. It's always about to happen. It's only looking back that you see the wasteland.

When I bought a collection of Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky, I returned home with a bright enthusiasm to begin the long march into the Russian soul. Though I've failed to read either man to completion, they both helped me to imagine that my fictional South Carolina was as vast a literary acreage as their Russia.

Because I could dance, my folks went through hell so I could be in movies. But I didn't dance in pictures. I cried! At one point I had polio, which I believe was a result of the stress I felt in the studios.

Grandfather, Great Spirit, once more behold me on earth and lean to hear my feeble voice.

I have tried to devote my life - with all my husband failures, father failures, pastor failures, friend failures, any other possible failures I'm sure I've done them - to the God-centeredness of God and my aspiring, yearning to join Him in that activity. God is passionate about hallowing the name of God.

The economic and social decline of Zimbabwe is shocking and appalling. Life there is unrecognisable from that of the recent past. Each day is a struggle for basic survival.

The economics of theater are painful. I still think that the theater community should be looking much more rigorously at how to let the playwright keep the money they make.
