I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation and is but a reflection of human frailty.

Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler. A man should look for what is, and not for what he thinks should be. We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them. A question that sometimes drives me hazy: am I or are the others crazy? Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex... It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction. All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree. It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer.

Hope that justice will be done to those brave men who stood up for their convictions.

It is not so important where one settles down. The best thing is to follow your instincts without too much reflection.

Epistemology without contact with science becomes an empty scheme. Science without epistemology is-insofar as it is thinkable at all-primitive and muddled.

After a certain high level of technical skill is achieved science and art tend to coalesce in aesthetics, plasticity, and form. The greatest scientists are artists as well.

Is it not a terrible thing to be forced by society to do things which all of us as individuals regard as abominable crimes?
