If your hate could be turned into electricity, it would light up the whole world.

Anti-social behavior is a trait of intelligence in a world full of conformists.

My wireless transmitter does not use Hertzian waves, which are a grievous myth, but sound waves in the aether.

The scientists from Franklin to Morse were clear thinkers and did not produce erroneous theories. The scientists of today think deeply instead of clearly. One must be sane to think clearly, but one can think deeply and be quite insane.

Religion is simply an ideal. It is an ideal force that tends to free the human being from material bonds. I do not believe that matter and energy are interchangeable, any more than are the body and soul. There is just so much matter in the universe and it cannot be destroyed.
