I am a deeply religious nonbeliever - this is a somewhat new kind of religion.

My comprehension of God comes from a deeply felt conviction of a superior intelligence that reveals itself in the knowable world.

Either CS (coordinate system) could be used with equal justification. The two sentences: the sun is at rest and the earth moves, or the sun moves and the earth is at rest, would simply mean two different conventions concerning two different CS

I made one great mistake in my life-when I signed the letter to President Roosevelt recommending that atom bombs be made but there was some justification-the danger that the Germans would make them.

With me every peep becomes a trumpet solo.

I am also convinced that one gains the purest joy from spirited things only when they are not tied in with earning one's livelihood.

I want to know how God created this world. I am not interested in this or that phenomenon, in the spectrum of this or that element. I want to know God's thoughts, the rest are details.
