quote, and sent it too
must have had to do with chastity :-)
There's some debate about that quote. It was actually uttered in German, and I'm told the term he used translates equally well as "watchmaker" -- someone who works with small/intricate mechanical devices, basically. So both professions claim it.
The "if only I had known", of course, refers to the use of his work in the design of the atom bomb.
The A-bomb.
