Quotes

''Once you have caught a big fish, the small fry becomes uninteresting. I worked for 25 years on my theory of insolation and when it was completed, I was left with nothing to do. I am too old to start working on a new theory, and theories of this magnitude don’t just grow on trees.''

''I know what I shall do during the German occupation. I shall write the history of my life and work. Someone would probably write this after my death, but probably wrongly.''

''In this work, I above all want to repay my debts. I have in my life come across some exceptionally noble and generous people, to whom I am indebted by their kindness, and I have either failed or not been able to repay them in equal measure''.
