I see my life in terms of music. I get most joy in life out of music. I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited.
Imagination encircles the world.
My life is a simple thing that would interest no one. This is a story I heard as a freshman at the University of Utah when Dr. Henry Eyring was still teaching chemistry there. Many years before he and Dr. Einstein were colleagues. As they walked together they noted an unusual plant growing along a garden walk. Dr. Eyring asked Dr. Einstein if he knew what the plant was.
