In the history of physics, every time we've looked beyond the scales and energies we were familiar with, we've found things that we wouldn't have thought were there.
LISA RANDALL, Discover Magazine, July 2006
There is nothing special in the world. Nothing magic. Just physics.
Most people think of "seeing" and "observing" directly with their senses. But for physicists, these words refer to much more indirect measurements involving a train of theoretical logic by which we can interpret what is "seen."
LISA RANDALL, New York Times, Sep. 18, 2005
Physics is like sex: sure, it may give some practical results, but that's not why we do it.
RICHARD FEYNMAN, attributed, Mad about Physics
A lot of fundamental physics is the solemn statement of the absurdly obvious. Any drunk who has tried to put his car where a lamppost stands is a self-educated physicist.
