I’ve always been very one-sided about science, and when I was younger, I concentrated almost all my effort on it.

This world, after all our science and sciences, is still a miracle wonderful, inscrutable, magical and more, to whosoever will think of it.

No evil dooms us hopelessly except the evil we love, and desire to continue in, and make no effort to escape from.

They say it is the first step that costs the effort. I do not find it so. I am sure I could write unlimited ‚first chapters‘. I have indeed written many.

In my heart, I am always a Raider.

Most of the time spent wrestling with technologies that don’t quite work yet is just not worth the effort for end users, however much fun it is for nerds like us.

As a comedian, I found this thing, this profession, that suits my mind and life force. To drop it to do something else? I just don’t get that.

My work as an artist is completely separate from my work as a philanthropist.

If you do things, whether it’s acting or music or painting, do it without fear – that’s my philosophy. Because nobody can arrest you and put you in jail if you paint badly, so there’s nothing to lose.

The man who does more than he is paid for will soon be paid for more than he does.

I do not believe in God; his existence has been disproved by Science. But in the concentration camp, I learned to believe in men.

If you love something – and there are things that I love – you do want more and more and more of it, but that’s not the way to produce good work.

Where would I be without baseball? Who am I without baseball?

If we long to believe that the stars rise and set for us, that we are the reason there is a Universe, does science do us a disservice in deflating our conceits?

Fighting football, not serenity football – that is what I like.

The usual approach of science of constructing a mathematical model cannot answer the questions of why there should be a universe for the model to describe. Why does the universe go to all the bother of existing?

I was a sociology major. And it had nothing to do necessarily with law, which is ultimately – I went to law school. But what I tried to do was choose something that I was passionate about or something that I cared about.

Fires can’t be made with dead embers, nor can enthusiasm be stirred by spiritless men. Enthusiasm in our daily work lightens effort and turns even labor into pleasant tasks.

I don’t intend to stop making music.

I want the concentration and the romance, and the worlds all glued together, fused, glowing: have no time to waste any more on prose.

I want to go and go, and then drop dead in the middle of something I’m loving to do. And if that doesn’t happen, if I wind up sitting in a wheelchair, at least I’ll have my high heels on.

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.

I only act from my heart.

I love tango, and I used to dance when I was young.

The first real thought that I had of something that I might do was to write for car magazines, because I always had a car thing.

The book of female logic is blotted all over with tears, and Justice in their courts is forever in a passion.

Success in its highest and noblest form calls for peace of mind and enjoyment and happiness which come only to the man who has found the work that he likes best.

If you are full of motivation as a player, if you are full of concentration, I am open arms.

Science does not know its debt to imagination.

Everyone enjoys doing the kind of work for which he is best suited.

I knew from the age of 16 that I wanted to be a writer because I just didn’t think I could do anything else. So I read and read and wrote short stories and dreamed of escape.

I don’t know who I would have been if I never watched MotoGP.

When you are enthusiastic about what you do, you feel this positive energy. It’s very simple.

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.

It’s hard work making movies. It’s like being a doctor: you work long hours, very hard hours, and it’s emotional, tense work. If you don’t really love it, then it ain’t worth it.

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

I explain the law of compensation like this: ‚Returns are minimal in spite of massive effort at the start, yet returns can be massive with minimal effort over time.

I feel like people can relate to me because we all go through wins and roadblocks and passion and pain, and it’s a vibe.

Those who know me know I’m passionate about lists, and top of my list of priorities is my family. My wife Joan and I do not consider our legacy to our children to be wealth or fame but the opportunity to pursue happiness by following their own path.

And die of nothing but a rage to live.

You have to put in many, many, many tiny efforts that nobody sees or appreciates before you achieve anything worthwhile.

To witness two lovers is a spectacle for the gods.

I love story songs because I’ve always loved books.

Most of the fundamental ideas of science are essentially simple, and may, as a rule, be expressed in a language comprehensible to everyone.

My son likes to go see mines and electric plants, or the Large Hadron Collider, and we’ve had a chance to see a lot of interesting stuff.

As soon go kindle fire with snow, as seek to quench the fire of love with words.

There’s something about being in front of a live audience that’s fun. It’s a really interesting, very electric, very alive, and intense experience, and you can’t get it anywhere else. And I’ve been doing it since I was 23, so it’s part of my being – it’s part of my fabric as a person.

I like having my hands in the clay. I like the movie-making process.

I think, generally, I just cannot really envision life without writing and producing records and singing.

To be honest, I never really considered myself to be too much of an actress. So, whenever I get the chance to do music, I’m always, like, just in it. It’s like, ‚Oh my God, I finally get to do this. I’m so happy.‘

Basketball is my passion, I love it. But my family and friends mean everything to me. That’s what’s important. I need my phone so I can keep in contact with them at all times.

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

Of all that is written, I love only what a person has written with his own blood.

My focus is my art, and that’s what I love to do. I have to be really passionate in order to do something. I’ve turned down many things that I just didn’t believe in.

I love singing. I love it, and it doesn’t feel like a chore. It’s an expression.

Today’s scientists have substituted mathematics for experiments, and they wander off through equation after equation, and eventually build a structure which has no relation to reality.

Let’s face it. Umpiring is not an easy or happy way to make a living. In the abuse they suffer, and the pay they get for it, you see an imbalance that can only be explained by their need to stay close to a game they can’t resist.

The god whom science recognizes must be a God of universal laws exclusively, a God who does a wholesale, not a retail business. He cannot accommodate his processes to the convenience of individuals.

The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not ‚Eureka!‘ but ‚That’s funny…‘

I never wanted to sing. I just wanted to play rhythm guitar – hide in the back and just play.

Baseball was, is and always will be to me the best game in the world.
