"For example, if black holes are as we have speculated them to be, whatever disappears in them reappears somewhere. Is it possible, therefore, that there are black holes in other universes which are sucking matter from those universes into our universe? This is a seriously considered possibility. There are objects that appear to be the reverse of black holes."- Wu Li Masters (pg 208)

"This scene is not science fiction. It is based upon a well-known (to physicists) phenomenon called the Twin Paradox of the special theory of relativity. Part of the paradox is that one twin remains on earth while the other goes on a space voyage and returns younger than his brother."-Wu Li Masters (pg 157)

"All I can do is be me, whoever that is." -Bob Dylan, as mentioned in Wu Li Masters on pg 133

"We live and perform our experiments in a sea of ether."- Wu Li Masters (pg 145)

"The professor came to inquire about Zen. Nan-in served tea. He poured his visitor's cup full and then kept on pouring. The professor watched the overflow until he no longer could restrain himself.
'It is overfull. No more will go in!'
'Like this cup,' Nan-in said, 'you are full of your own opinions and speculations. How can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup?'
Our cup is usually filled to the brim with 'the obvious,' 'common sense,' and 'the self-evident.'"-Wu Li Masters (pg 132)

"The theory of the ether was that the entire universe lies in  and is permeated by an invisible, tasteless, odorlesss substance that has no properties at all, and exists simply because it has to exist so that light waves can have something to propagate in."-Wu Li, (p. 145)
