Equation of Peace

A scientist might one day be able to explain joy and peace of mind with mathematical formulas, if he searches deep enough within the atom.

Bernard Moitessier (1925-1994), French sailor, excerpt from "The Long Way"

Pierre Desproges, French comedian, author, and actor (1939-1988)
