I just don't believe in generalisations.

Sometimes the weekend gets hijacked by work, but as my mother would say, this is the right problem.

I have derived enormous confidence from being a husband and father.

If you are lucky, you have your moment. But it is never more than a moment. You have to enjoy it while it lasts.

What is a week-end? Maggie Smith in Downton Abbey.

Success means your thoughts are worthy of everyones consideration.

After some minor pieces of theoretical study that I worked on, a student in my statistical mechanics class brought to my attention a problem in polyelectrolytes.

This is a game that you don't want to be in!
