Quotes
The following are related quotes:

“What inspired me to write poems? After I had more or less completed my scientific career, I realized that there was one domain about which physics didn’t give me answers, namely human nature. So I prepared myself for a journey within my old search for all corners of the universe. This included painting with the computer and writing a novel and poems. I write for people who think chemistry is cold and far from the humanities, for the literati, who reuse over and over the metaphors related to love, death, landscapes, and religion. Science renders an enormous amount of new metaphors for literati to enjoy.”
— Mario Markus (2013), poetry and chemistry interview [2]
