Both the man of science and the man of action live always at the edge of mystery, surrounded by it.

Yeah, I like to keep myself interested – I’ll kind of throw myself into some area that I don’t completely know or understand, that I’m not adept at, so I’m forced to swim in order to stay afloat. There’s a good feeling that comes from that.

We should not teach children the sciences; but give them a taste for them.

If you look at the history of our country over the last 100 years, there have been periods where science and research have been celebrated. They were really kind of held up as heroes in society, which encouraged a generation of people to go into these fields.

It’s not a real adventure when you have to pay for it.

Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little.

I know so many people who feel hopeless, and they ask me, ‚What should I do?‘ And I say: ‚Act. Do something.‘ Because that is the best medicine against sadness and depression.

Happiness is a mystery, like religion, and should never be rationalised.

They are ill discoverers that think there is no land, when they can see nothing but sea.

America is a poem in our eyes; its ample geography dazzles the imagination, and it will not wait long for metres.

Religion and science are the two conjugated faces or phases of one and the same complete act of knowledge – the only one which can embrace the past and future of evolution and so contemplate, measure and fulfil them.

However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you if you do not act on upon them?

The most interesting information comes from children, for they tell all they know and then stop.

Science is a beautiful gift to humanity; we should not distort it.

Life was always a matter of waiting for the right moment to act.

Since we cannot know all that there is to be known about anything, we ought to know a little about everything.

I need more sex, OK? Before I die I wanna taste everyone in the world.

I’ve always been amazed by Da Vinci, because he worked out science on his own. He would work by drawing things and writing down his ideas. Of course, he designed all sorts of flying machines way before you could actually build something like that.

We give speeches and pin ribbons onto uniforms, etch names into walls. And all that is fine, but too often, all those tributes, all those words aren’t always backed up by action. And that felt like such a stark contrast to me, because, as we all know, our military is all about action.

When I hear a man preach, I like to see him act as if he were fighting bees.

Not only does God play dice, but… he sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen.

For me, when you are have people wondering what is next, what is coming out, you are on the right track.

All sciences are now under the obligation to prepare the ground for the future task of the philosopher, which is to solve the problem of value, to determine the true hierarchy of values.

For me, time is the greatest mystery of all. The fact is that we’re dreaming all the time. That’s what really gets me. We have a fathomless lake of unconsciousness just beneath our skulls.

The movement of search can only be from the known to the known, and all that the mind can do is to be aware that this movement will never uncover the unknown. Any movement on the part of the known is still within the field of the known.

Science is global. Einstein’s equation, E=mc2, has to reach everywhere. Science is a beautiful gift to humanity, we should not distort it. Science does not differentiate between multiple races.

Adventuring can be for the ordinary person with ordinary qualities, such as I regard myself.

I am just a child who has never grown up. I still keep asking these ‚how‘ and ‚why‘ questions. Occasionally, I find an answer.

I have definitely been curious and involved in the process; even as a young actor. I was always looking at where the camera was, what story it was telling. And as my experience grew, I wanted to know even more.

It is a miracle that curiosity survives formal education.

A lot of people can’t stand touring but to me it’s like breathing. I do it because I’m driven to do it.

Anytime I feel lost, I pull out a map and stare. I stare until I have reminded myself that life is a giant adventure, so much to do, to see.

Since I was old enough to understand what a songwriter/producer is, I’ve had a curiosity about how Max Martin creates what he creates. I wanted to see that happen. I wanted to be there. I wanted to learn from him.

The only secrets are the secrets that keep themselves.

Romance should never begin with sentiment. It should begin with science and end with a settlement.

Hong Kong is a wonderful, mixed-up town where you’ve got great food and adventure. First and foremost, it’s a great place to experience China in a relatively accessible way.

Do not keep saying to yourself, if you can possibly avoid it, ‚But how can it be like that?‘ because you will get ‚down the drain,‘ into a blind alley from which nobody has yet escaped. Nobody knows how it can be like that.

If you do not expect the unexpected you will not find it, for it is not to be reached by search or trail.

There is no such thing on earth as an uninteresting subject; the only thing that can exist is an uninterested person.

The human body is strange and flawed and unpredictable. The human body has many secrets, and it does not divulge them to anyone, except those who have learned to wait.

Atoms are very special: they like certain particular partners, certain particular directions, and so on. It is the job of physics to analyze why each one wants what it wants.

We sail within a vast sphere, ever drifting in uncertainty, driven from end to end.

Art is the beautiful way of doing things. Science is the effective way of doing things. Business is the economic way of doing things.

Science is not only a disciple of reason but, also, one of romance and passion.

Despite all I have seen and experienced, I still get the same simple thrill out of glimpsing a tiny patch of snow in a high mountain gully and feel the same urge to climb towards it.

We must not sit still and look for miracles; up and doing, and the Lord will be with thee. Prayer and pains, through faith in Christ Jesus, will do anything.

Science is the father of knowledge, but opinion breeds ignorance.

The undiscovered country from whose bourn no traveler returns.

My brother and I were both good at science, and we were both good at English literature. Either one of us could have gone either way.

We always overestimate the change that will occur in the next two years and underestimate the change that will occur in the next ten. Don’t let yourself be lulled into inaction.

I love all kinds of insects, and I’ve heard Australia has some really interesting bugs.

A fool’s brain digests philosophy into folly, science into superstition, and art into pedantry. Hence University education.

I’m astounded by people who want to ‚know‘ the universe when it’s hard enough to find your way around Chinatown.

To see the right and not to do it is cowardice.

The first amazing fact about gravitation is that the ratio of inertial mass to gravitational mass is constant wherever we have checked it. The second amazing thing about gravitation is how weak it is.

With all the travel we’re doing to cold-weather cities, your mind definitely starts to wander. It gets you away from the game. Even when you arrive in a city, you’re tempted to just sit in your hotel and rest. Sometimes it’s nice to just get out and walk around, to see what’s there.

Time can behave like another direction in space under extreme conditions.

As a Humanist, I love science. I hate superstition, which could never have given us A-bombs.

Truth is a pathless land.

The action we take and the decisions we make in this decade will have consequences far into this century. If America shows weakness and uncertainty, the world will drift toward tragedy. That will not happen on my watch.

Science never makes things that do not have to do with what we feel, by which I mean what we want and what we fear.
