From the point of view of basic physics, the most interesting phenomena are, of course, in the new places, the places where the rules do not work – not the places where they do work! That is the way in which we discover new rules.

I believe that there are many herbs and many trees that are worth much in Europe for dyes and for medicines; but I do not know, and this causes me great sorrow. Arriving at this cape, I found the smell of the trees and flowers so delicious that it seemed the pleasantest thing in the world.

Everywhere is nowhere. When a person spends all his time in foreign travel, he ends by having many acquaintances, but no friends.

Beauty is a manifestation of secret natural laws, which otherwise would have been hidden from us forever.

Science has not yet taught us if madness is or is not the sublimity of the intelligence.

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

Shun no toil to make yourself remarkable by some talent or other; yet do not devote yourself to one branch exclusively. Strive to get clear notions about all. Give up no science entirely; for science is but one.

I played by the rules of politics as I found them.

There were several possible solutions of the difficulty of classical electrodynamics, any one of which might serve as a good starting point to the solution of the difficulties of quantum electrodynamics.

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

One of the things that we’re trying to do with Creative Labs and all our experiences is explore things that aren’t all tied to Facebook identity. Some things will be, but not everything will have to be, because there are some sets of experiences that are just better with other identities.

The study and knowledge of the universe would somehow be lame and defective were no practical results to follow.

I am a great fan of science, but I cannot do a quadratic equation.

An object in motion tends to remain in motion along a straight line unless acted upon by an outside force.

Perhaps, as some wit remarked, the best proof that there is Intelligent Life in Outer Space is the fact it hasn’t come here. Well, it can’t hide forever – one day we will overhear it.

No pessimist ever discovered the secret of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new doorway for the human spirit.

We must accept what science tells us, that man was born from the earth. But, more logical than the scientists who lecture us, we must carry this lesson to its conclusion: that is to say, accept that man was born entirely from the world – not only his flesh and bones but his incredible power of thought.

It was Einstein’s dream to discover the grand design of the universe, a single theory that explains everything. However, physicists in Einstein’s day hadn’t made enough progress in understanding the forces of nature for that to be a realistic goal.

Amazon.com strives to be the e-commerce destination where consumers can find and discover anything they want to buy online.

Theoretical physics is one of the few fields in which being disabled is no handicap – it is all in the mind.

Scientific views end in awe and mystery, lost at the edge in uncertainty, but they appear to be so deep and so impressive that the theory that it is all arranged as a stage for God to watch man’s struggle for good and evil seems inadequate.

The United States Constitution has proved itself the most marvelously elastic compilation of rules of government ever written.

Order is heaven’s first law.

You want to play another kind of character in another genre, and it’s been something I’ve been trying to do if I can in the career so far, and it’s something I hope to continue because it’s interesting to me and you get to do different things as an actor.

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.

A capacity, and taste, for reading gives access to whatever has already been discovered by others.

Science is properly more scrupulous than dogma. Dogma gives a charter to mistake, but the very breath of science is a contest with mistake, and must keep the conscience alive.

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.

I think you should always bear in mind that entropy is not on your side.

One science only will one genius fit; so vast is art, so narrow human wit.

Putin goes to bed at night knowing he can break all the rules, and the West will follow all the rules.

Buy the ticket, take the ride.

Poets say science takes away from the beauty of the stars – mere globs of gas atoms. I, too, can see the stars on a desert night, and feel them. But do I see less or more?

Science and fiction both begin with similar questions: What if? Why? How does it all work? But they focus on different areas of life on earth.

We will explore the mysteries of science and harness the power of technology and innovation. We will realise the opportunities of the digital world. Our youth will learn more from – and with – each other.

The credit of advancing science has always been due to individuals and never to the age.

Millions of people were inspired by the Apollo Program. I was five years old when I watched Apollo 11 unfold on television, and without any doubt it was a big contributor to my passions for science, engineering, and exploration.

The observer, when he seems to himself to be observing a stone, is really, if physics is to be believed, observing the effects of the stone upon himself.

Obey the principles without being bound by them.

There is nothing which can better deserve your patronage, than the promotion of science and literature. Knowledge is in every country the surest basis of public happiness.

Well, the odds must be against anybody being able to fly around the world in a balloon on the first attempt. All of us who are attempting to go around the world in balloons are effectively flying in experimental craft because these craft cannot be tested.

There could be no fairer destiny for any physical theory than that it should point the way to a more comprehensive theory in which it lives on as a limiting case.

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

A queer fellow and a jolly fellow is the grasshopper. Up the mountains he comes on excursions, how high I don’t know, but at least as far and high as Yosemite tourists.

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.

If I’d observed all the rules, I’d never have got anywhere.

I did not wish to take a cabin passage, but rather to go before the mast and on the deck of the world, for there I could best see the moonlight amid the mountains. I do not wish to go below now.

The product of mental labor – science – always stands far below its value, because the labor-time necessary to reproduce it has no relation at all to the labor-time required for its original production.

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

My preparation is about precision. It is a science.

Philosophers have not kept up with modern developments in science. Particularly physics.

In order for the United States to do the right things for the long term, it appears to be helpful for us to have the prospect of humiliation. Sputnik helped us fund good science – really good science: the semiconductor came out of it.

Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one’s living at it.

We get the exciting result that the total energy of the universe is zero. Why this should be so is one of the great mysteries – and therefore one of the important questions of physics. After all, what would be the use of studying physics if the mysteries were not the most important things to investigate?

A zero-gravity flight is a first step toward space travel.

We are often raised as dependents then given over to teachers. It’s experience and exploration that can transform us and lead to mastery.

I have come to believe that this is a mighty continent which was hitherto unknown.

I used to think information was destroyed in black hole. This was my biggest blunder, or at least my biggest blunder in science.

Cosmology is a rapidly advancing field.

All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them.

Man lives for science as well as bread.
