Most medical physicists work in the physics of radiation oncology making sure that the desired dose is given to the cancer and the dose to normal tissues are minimized. ↗

The way in which mathematicians and physicists and historians talk is quite different, and what a physicist means by physical intuition and what a mathematician means by beauty or elegance are things worth thinking about. ↗

What appeared to the earlier physicists to be the constant quantity of heat is nothing more than the whole motive power of the motion of heat, which remains constant so long as it is not transformed into other forms of work, or results afresh from them. ↗

In some sort of crude sense, which no vulgarity, no humor, no overstatement can quite extinguish, the physicists have known sin; and this is a knowledge which they cannot lose. ↗

— J. Robert Oppenheimer

Chemistry has been termed by the physicist as the messy part of physics, but that is no reason why the physicists should be permitted to make a mess of chemistry when they invade it. ↗

Mediocre theoretical physicists make no progress. They spend all their time understanding other people's progress. ↗

When I took office, only high energy physicists had ever heard of what is called the Worldwide Web... Now even my cat has its own page. ↗

Physicists analyze systems. Web scientists, however, can create the systems. ↗

Many respectable physicists said that they weren't going to stand for this -- partly because it was a debasement of science, but mostly because they didn't get invited to those sort of parties. ↗

Physicists are more like avant-garde composers, willing to bend traditional rules... Mathematicians are more like classical composers. ↗
