Scientific work will never stop, and it would be terrible if it did. If there were no more problems, you would put your hands in your pockets and your head on a pillow and would work no more. In science rest is stagnation, rest is death.

Ego is the immediate dictate of human consciousness.

An important scientific innovation rarely makes its way by gradually winning over and converting its opponents: What does happen is that the opponents gradually die out.

A scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.

A scientist is happy, not in resting on his attainments but in the steady acquisition of fresh knowledge.

There is no matter as such—mind is the matrix of all matter.

In all my research I have never come across matter. To me the term matter implies a bundle of energy which is given form by an intelligent spirit.
