Human beings, in their thinking, feeling and acting are not free agents but are as causally bound as the stars in their motion.

Nothing happens until something moves. When something vibrates, the electrons of the entire universe resonate with it. Everything is connected.

To be sure, it is not the fruits of scientific research that elevate a man and enrich his nature, but the urge to understand, the intellectual work, creative or receptive.

I have never obtained any ethical values from my scientific work.

We cannot resolve the problems of the world by unsing the same techniques that have created them.

I urge a willingness to reserve a place in rational science for non-rational wonder.

What I see in Nature is a magnificent structure that we can comprehend only very imperfectly, and that must fill a thinking person with a feeling of humility. This is a genuinely religious feeling that has nothing to do with mysticism.
