Famous quotes containing the words robert and/or rodriguez:
“Both the man of science and the man of art live always at the edge of mystery, surrounded by it. Both, as a measure of their creation, have always had to do with the harmonization of what is new with what is familiar, with the balance between novelty and synthesis, with the struggle to make partial order in total chaos.... This cannot be an easy life.”
—J. Robert Oppenheimer (1904–1967)
“As you see yourself, I once saw myself; as you see me now, you will be seen.”
—Mexican proverb quoted in “Night and Day,” Frontiers, Richard Rodriguez (1990)
