I have a friend who's an artist and has sometimes taken a view which I don't agree with. He'll hold up a flower and say, 'Look how beautiful it is,' and I'll agree. Then he says, 'You see, as a scientist, you take this all apart and it becomes a dull thing,' and I think that he's missing something. I understand the beauty of the flower in a much more profound way.
