...more work than filling out a form differently and I knew it. If changing names from Alan to Eric was the only thing I could change about myself that fall, it would be pretty pathetic indeed. Still, switching names was going to be emblematic of the new me, a constant reminder to myself that I wasn't who I used...
...against this background of experiments, keep a few things constant. I was lucky in that my first year at Harvard was a year of things falling into place, however unlikely they may have seemed.

As a physicist, he believed that physical laws are immutable, applying to all things in nature. As a result, he regarded certain human values--such as liberty and the respect for individual dignity--as inviolable and universal...
