    If that’s the world’s smartest man, God help us.
    Lucille Feynman, mother of American physicist Richard Feynman (1918-1988)

    It’s not a field, I think, for people who need to have success every day: if you can’t live with a nightly sort of disaster, you should get out. I wouldn’t describe myself as lacking in confidence, but I would just say that ... the ghosts you chase you never catch.
    John Malkovich (b. 1953)
