We know too much for one man to know too much.

All history teaches us that these questions that we think the pressing ones will be transmuted before they are answered, that they will be replaced by others, and that the very process of discovery will shatter the concepts that we today use to describe our puzzlement.

'It worked.' (said after witnessing the first atomic detonation).

Discovery follows discovery, each both raising and answering questions, each ending a long search, and each providing the new instruments for a new search.

The Vedas are the greatest privilege of this century.

Science starts with preconception, with the common culture, and with common sense. It moves on to observation, is marked by the discovery of paradox, and is then concerned with the correction of preconception. It moves then to use these corrections for the designing of further observation and for more refined experiment. And as it moves along this course the nature of the evidence and experience that nourish it becomes more and more unfamiliar; it is not just the language that is strange [to common culture].

I can't think that it would be terrible of me to say - and it is occasionally true - that I need physics more than friends.
