John Wheeler, High Island, South Bristol, Maine
“The people who will lead us into the new world of physics must be conservative revolutionaries like Wheeler, at home in the prosaic world of practical calculation as well as in the poetic world of speculative dreams. The prosaic Wheeler and the poetic Wheeler are equally essential. They are the two complementary characters that together make up the John Wheeler that we know and love.”

“When we try to pick out anything by itself we find that it is bound fast by a thousand invisible cords that cannot be broken, to everything in the universe. ” – John Muir, (a relative on my father’s mother’s side)
