I’d rather be a could be if I cannot be an are, for a could be is a maybe reaching for a star. I’d rather be a has been than a might have been by far, for a might have been has never been but a has was once an are.

I think Oppenheimer took that from the Bahgavad Gita. He studied the Hindu religion.
