Quote by Simon van der Meer

"Particle physics is a humbling subject. The universe is far more complex than our theories."

"In science, we must always be willing to be proven wrong."

"The pursuit of knowledge is the noblest of all human endeavors."

"We are all made of stardust, connected to the cosmos."

"The best part of living is knowing you survived."

"The world needs heroes."

"Life is too short to live poorly."

"I'd rather be an optimist and be wrong than a pessimist and be right"
