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

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.

America is so vast that almost everything said about it is likely to be true, and the opposite is probably equally true.

When I drop my son off at school, I love walking around the outskirts of Hampstead Heath.

Who would dare assign to art the sterile function of imitating nature?

In our school, there were lots of bands putting up posters saying 'Come to our gigs'.

Sometimes you feel the emotion. You think this might be my last pre-season or my last Champions League match. But, overall, those thoughts aren't important right now. But the time will soon come.

Drug addiction reduces a man to a mindless and ridiculous thing and creates social parasites and criminals.

I got a phone call saying we are from the News of the World, and we're exposing you and David Beckham. My heart did not beat for a minute.

If at first you dont succeed then skydiving definitely isnt for you.

When we came out from the Elysee palace, there was a gigantic limousine waiting for us and four police on motorcycles. It is probably one of the few times I have experienced my fame. I thought it was so fantastic that I laughed to the point of shouting.

'Love and Terror on the Howling Plains of Nowhere' took me six years to write.

If the 'Post' can play the role of a connector between the West and the East, I have confidence in the paper's future success.

I'm involved in Northern Ireland Screen and have been for a long time, so I keep my eyes open and ears to the ground.

At school, up to the age of sixteen, I found history boring, for we were studying the Industrial Revolution, which was all about Acts, Trade Unions and the factory system, and I wanted to know about people, because it is people who make history.

There were certain things in 'Nemo' - just this low hum of ocean and watery sound - that was enough to imply water, as opposed to restating it over and over again.

The key to good decision making is not knowledge. It is understanding. We are swimming in the former. We are desperately lacking in the latter.

I've been writing lullabies since the beginning. I kind of did it for myself to help myself fall asleep when I really worried, like when I was homeless and I'd fall asleep in my car.

We should look back now and then. Our politicians should look back every now and then.

Shopping for groceries for most people is like a chore. It's like doing the laundry or taking out the garbage. And we strive to make shopping engaging, fun and interactive.

There are very few record companies who will entertain a middle-aged woman coming to them with original material.

I was never part of that cliquey girl drama. Most of my friends were guys growing up, so I was never part of that whole toxic energy. It seemed like way too much hassle.

I think it's fun running with dogs. They're always so fit and fast.

For consumers to benefit from technology, there has to be fair and open competition. Fair and open competition is the only course we know that can lead to meaningful innovation.

Days off are few and far between in the restaurant business. But on an hour off, I like to have a glass of wine with my wife.

My undertaking is not difficult, essentially. I should only have to be immortal to carry it out.
