Those people have seen 'something'. What it is I do not know and I can not care to know.

A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin; what else does a man need to be happy.

True knowledge comes with deep understanding of a topic and its inner workings.

Academic chairs are many, but wise and noble teachers are few; lecture-rooms are numerous and large, but the number of young people who genuinely thirst after truth and justice is small

What I seek to accomplish is simply to serve with my feeble capacity truth and justice, at the risk of pleasing no one.

It must be conceded that a theory has an important advantage if its basic concepts and fundamental hypotheses are 'close to experience,' and greater confidence in such a theory is certainly justified. There is less danger of going completely astray, particularly since it takes so much less time and effort to disprove such theories by experience. Yet more and more, as the depth of our knowledge increases, we must give up this advantage in our quest for logical simplicity in the foundations of physical theory.

We all try to escape pain and death, while we seek what is pleasant.
