Great physicists and their blackboards. 

You shall no longer take things at second or third hand, not look through the eyes of the dead, nor feed on the spectres in books. You shall not look through my eyes either, nor take things from me, you shall listen to all sides and filter them from yourself.

Walt Whitman, Song of Myself (via unsociabledoll)
