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 could probably give you a list of a dozen pet peeves I have about my own physicality and why I couldn't get a second date.

The basic problem with my love relationships with women is that my standards are so high - and they apply equally to both of us. I seek full-blast mutual intensity fully fledged mutual acceptance full-blown mutual flourishing and fully felt peace and joy with each other. This requires a level of physical attraction personal adoration and moral admiration that is hard to find.

A mind at peace a mind centered and not focused on harming others is stronger than any physical force in the universe.

Soon I knew the craft of experimental physics was beyond me - it was the sublime quality of patience - patience in accumulating data patience with recalcitrant equipment - which I sadly lacked.

I'd love to go back to Europe in the '20s and '30s for the beginning of the Psychoanalytic Movement and Freud and Jung and all that was going on with discoveries in quantum physics. The whole nature of reality was changing and being challenged.

Nature can do more than physicians.

It seems to be a law of nature that no man unless he has some obvious physical deformity ever is loth to sit for his portrait.

The possibilities that are suggested in quantum physics tell us that everything that we're looking at may not be in fact there so the underlying nature of being is weird.

It is wrong to think that the task of physics is to find out how Nature is. Physics concerns what we say about Nature.

In some mysterious way woods have never seemed to me to be static things. In physical terms I move through them yet in metaphysical ones they seem to move through me.

A morning-glory at my window satisfies me more than the metaphysics of books.

We tend to mistake music for the physical object.

My body looks like 30 but my face looks like 50. But I cannot walk bare-chested in the streets. I like to do these movies to challenge myself physically.

I don't know if I see myself as really an action hero but I like doing physical movies and I like doing movies where the writing is very lean.

The physical part of comedy is as hard as a lot of action movies. It scares me but in a way that I like.

I do like to move and get physical in my movies.

When we talk about how movies used to be made it was over 100 years of film literal physical film with emulsion that we would expose to light and we would get pictures.

I feel a lot healthier when I'm having sex. Physically. I feel all these jitters when I wake up in the morning. Just energy jitters. I take vitamins I work out every day. When I'm having sex I don't have that.
