Stanley Miller
Stanley Lloyd Miller (March 7, 1930 - May 20, 2007) was an American chemist and biologist who is known for his studies into the origin of life, particularly the Miller experiment which demonstrated that organic compounds can be created by fairly simple chemical processes from inorganic substances. However, it has since been demonstrated that the conditions used for the experiment may not have been an accurate representation of the early Earth atmosphere.

“Where he gets his spirits
It’s a mystery. But the stuff keeps him musical:”
—William Stanley Merwin (b. 1927)
“The life of a creator is not the only life nor perhaps the most interesting which a man leads. There is a time for play and a time for work, a time for creation and a time for lying fallow. And there is a time, glorious too in its own way, when one scarcely exists, when one is a complete void. I mean—when boredom seems the very stuff of life.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
