"You can't compare their character any more than you can compare an orchid to a dandelion...An orchid is more finely designed, and built, and delicate, and subtle, and aromatic. And a dandelion is something you kick up with the heel of your shoe if it's going to take over your grass." -Dorothy McKibbin's comparison of Los Alamos scientists Robert Oppenheimer and Edward Teller. Love the language.
