Quote by Paul Dirac

I do not see how a man can work on the frontiers of physics and write poetry at the same time. They are in opposition.

I do not see how a man can work on the frontiers of physics

Summary

This quote highlights the perceived dichotomy between scientific pursuits, represented by working on the frontiers of physics, and artistic endeavors like writing poetry. It suggests that these two realms are fundamentally incompatible and stand in opposition to each other. Implied is a belief that the logical and analytical approach required in scientific exploration clashes with the expressive and imaginative nature of artistic creation. The quote essentially asserts the notion that one cannot effectively engage in both scientific and artistic pursuits simultaneously due to the contrasting demands they place on the individual.

One farmer says to me, You cannot live on vegetable food solely, for it furnishes nothing to make bones with; and so he religiously devotes a part of his day to supplying his system with the raw material of bones; walking all the while he talks behind his oxen, which, with vegetable-made bones, jerk him and his lumbering plow along in spite of every obstacle.

The trade of advertising is now so near perfection that it is not easy to propose any improvement. But as every art ought to be exercised in due subordination to the public good, I cannot but propose it as a moral question to these masters of the public ear, whether they do not sometimes play too wantonly with our passions.

It's fairness to say those who work hard, get up in the morning, cut their cloth - in other words 'we can only afford to have one or two children because we don't earn enough'. They pay their taxes and they want to know that the same kind of decision-making is taking place for those on benefits.
