The world shall perish not for lack of wonders, but for lack of wonder

I do not believe in the commercial possibility of induced radioactivity.

Man armed with science is like a baby with a box of matches.

The advance of scientific knowledge does not seem to make either our universe or our inner life in it any less mysterious.

An ounce of algebra is worth a ton of verbal argument.

I have no doubt that in reality the future will be vastly more surprising than anything I can imagine. Now my own suspicion is that the Universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we can suppose.

Science is as yet in its infancy, and we can foretell little of the future save that the thing that has not been is the thing that shall be; that no beliefs, no values, no institutions are safe.
