A physicist is an atom's way of knowing about atoms.

George Wald 

David Gurteen's comments: Everything in the universe including a human being is made of atoms. And a human being has the ability to study those atoms - including the ones that constitute his or her own body. Atoms studying themselves! Just think about this for a second. Don't you think this is marvelous?
