I reverted easily to my wild state, that is experimentation.

In 1933, the Nazis came to power and the more systematic persecution of the Jews followed quickly. Laws were enacted which excluded Jewish children from higher education in public schools.

In the evenings I studied chemistry at the University of Chicago, the weekends I helped in the family store.

I studied chemical engineering. I was a good student, but these were the hard times of the depression, my scholarship came to an end, and it was necessary to work to supplement the family income.

In 1934, the American Jewish charities offered to find homes for 300 German refugee children. We were on the SS Washington, bound for New York, Christmas 1934.

I survived only a year in Berkeley, partly because I declined to sign the anticommunist loyalty oath.

I'm now a bit anti-Jewish since my last visit to the synagogue, but my atheism does not necessarily reject religion.

I feel I learned as much from fellow students as from the professors.

I had no new ideas on the physics we might learn, and I could not compete with the younger generation.

The problem of transmitting scientific knowledge is a very difficult business.

A heart can stop beating for a while, one can still live.

The moderns say we must not punish heretics. My only doubt is whether we have the right to punish anybody else.

The one overall structure in my plays is language

The north remembers, Lord Davos. The north remembers, and the mummer’s farce is almost done. My son is home.

Meet this transient world with neither grasping nor fear, trust the unfolding of life, and you will attain true serenity.

Nothing's worse than a business person who sells out to the left, if you're a capitalist, stand up and be counted.

What can that man fear who takes care to please a Being that is able to crush all his adversaries?

We have some really, really wonderful actors on the horizon.

I'll perform all the way to the grave.

Listen how they say your name. If they can't say that right, there's no way they're going to know how to treat you proper, neither.
