Summary

This quote highlights a contrast in perspectives between the Florida Supreme Court and the United States Supreme Court during the contentious 2000 presidential election. The Florida Supreme Court believed in ensuring that every lawful vote cast should be counted, advocating for a comprehensive evaluation of all ballots. Conversely, the United States Supreme Court decided against this course, suggesting that not all votes needed to be included in the final tally. This difference in viewpoint underscores the divergent approaches taken by the two courts in handling the election dispute.

He was a physicist, more precisely an astrophysicist, diligent and eager but without illusions: the Truth lay beyond, inaccessible to our telescopes, accessible to the initiates. This was a long road which he was traveling with effort, wonderment, and profound joy. Physics was prose: elegant gymnastics for the mind, mirror of Creation, the key to man's dominion over the planet; but what is the stature of Creation, of man and the planet? His road was long and he had barely started up it, but I was his disciple: did I want to follow him?
