I started with anatomy, but then shifted to function and physiology studying rabbits. But then I found rabbits too complicated and shifted to bacteriology, hoping to find the secrets of life in those very small, tiny creatures. But later I found bacteria too complicated and shifted to molecules and began to study chemistry—a few years later after the war I was even condemned to be the Professor of Chemistry and taught chemistry for many years! About 15 years ago I found molecules too complex and then I shifted to electrons and quantum mechanics—the behavior of electrons. So I went through the whole gambit of organization, which was a vain effort, because I ended with electrons, which have no life at all…molecules have no life—so life ran out between my fingers.
