I wanted to kill myself. I would have done it, too, if I had owned a gun. I was considering the gruesome alternatives: pills, slitting my wrists with a razor blade, jumping off a bridge, when another student called to ask me a detailed question on relativity. There was no way, after fifteen minutes of thinking about Mr. Einstein, that suicide was still a viable option. Divorce, certainly. Celibacy, highly likely. But death was out of the question. I could never have prematurely terminated my love affair with physics.
