Agnostic for me would be trying to weasel out and sound a little nicer than I am about this.

No man is rich who is unsatisfied, but who wants nothing possess his heart's desire.

Phenomena complex-laws simple....Know what to leave out.

The game I play is a very interesting one. It's imagination in a straightjacket, which is this: that it has to agree with the known laws of physics. ... It requires imagination to think of what's possible, and then it requires an analysis back, checking to see whether it fits, whether its allowed, according to what's known, okay?

People who wish to analyze nature without using mathematics must settle for a reduced understanding.

All things are made of atoms - little particles that move around in perpetual motion, attracting each other when they are a little distance apart, but repelling upon being squeezed into one another. In that one sentence, you will see, there is an enormous amount of information about the world, if just a little imagination and thinking are applied.

Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn't matter. Explore the world. Nearly everything is really interesting if you go into it deeply enough.
