The process of scientific discovery is, in effect, a continual flight from wonder.

How sweet is the perception of a new natural fact!

It’s kind of a weird process being pitched by the company you’re already with.

I don’t watch television and I rarely go to the cinema, but I recently watched ‚The King’s Speech‘ on a flight. It was so beautiful and so simple.

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

Like anything else that happens on its own, the act of writing is beyond currency. Money is great stuff to have, but when it comes to the act of creation, the best thing is not to think of money too much. It constipates the whole process.

Men love to wonder, and that is the seed of science.

The sculptor produces the beautiful statue by chipping away such parts of the marble block as are not needed – it is a process of elimination.

Love is the joy of the good, the wonder of the wise, the amazement of the Gods.

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

Peace is a daily, a weekly, a monthly process, gradually changing opinions, slowly eroding old barriers, quietly building new structures.

When you focus on how wonderful God is and all the great things He’s done… is doing… and even will do in your life, your natural response will be praise, adoration and awe. Don’t let yourself ever get used to it… stay amazed!

It’s a pity that nobody has found an exploding black hole. If they had, I would have won a Nobel prize.

In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous.

If you really want to know what Middle-earth is based on, it’s my wonder and delight in the earth as it is, particularly the natural earth.

Space has always fascinated me. As a young boy looking up at the stars, I found it impossible to resist thinking what was out there and if I ever would experience space first-hand.

It always seems odd to me that the fundamental laws of physics, when discovered, can appear in so many different forms that are not apparently identical at first, but, with a little mathematical fiddling, you can show the relationship.

It sometimes feels like a strange movie, you know, it’s all so weird that sometimes I wonder if it is really happening.

I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought, and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.

Nothing new here, except my marrying, which to me is a matter of profound wonder.

Look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see, and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious.

No greater thing is created suddenly, any more than a bunch of grapes or a fig. If you tell me that you desire a fig, I answer you that there must be time. Let it first blossom, then bear fruit, then ripen.

I remember I was flying home to Los Angeles one day. I was talking to the woman next to me and the flight attendant tried to tell me I was sitting next to somebody that I should know. I didn’t recognize her but it ended up being Beyonce’s sister, Solange Knowles.

The world is mud-luscious and puddle-wonderful.

Technology is destructive only in the hands of people who do not realize that they are one and the same process as the universe.

There are grounds for cautious optimism that we may now be near the end ofthe search for the ultimate laws of nature.

And if a person is religious, I think it’s good, it helps you a bit. But if you’re not, at least you can have the sense that there is a condition inside you which looks at the stars with amazement and awe.

He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes are closed.

How do I confront aging? With a wonder and a terror. Yeah, I’ll say that. Wonder and terror.

We enjoy the process far more than the proceeds.

I have wondered about time all my life.

The world is full of magical things patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper.

The earth is bountiful, and where her bounty fails, nitrogen drawn from the air will refertilize her womb. I developed a process for this purpose in 1900. It was perfected fourteen years later under the stress of war by German chemists.

‚Educational‘ refers to the process, not the object. Although, come to think of it, some of my teachers could easily have been replaced by a cheeseburger.

When I was a kid, I thought movies just came from air. I thought they just appeared.

I think the foundation of everything in my life is wonder.

Federalism is no longer the fault line of Centre-State relations but the definition of a new partnership of Team India. Citizens now have the ease of trust, not the burden of proof and process. Businesses find an environment that is open and easy to work in.

Worship is transcendent wonder.

I can make something magical and wonderful out of nothing.

Stuff your eyes with wonder, live as if you’d drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It’s more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories.

Children astound me with their inquisitive minds. The world is wide and mysterious to them, and as they piece together the puzzle of life, they ask ‚Why?‘ ceaselessly.

Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything.

You have to believe in your process. You have to believe in the things that you are doing to help the team win. I think you have to take the good with the bad.

Mystery creates wonder and wonder is the basis of man’s desire to understand.

It is indeed a matter of great difficulty to discover, and effectually to distinguish, the true motions of particular bodies from the apparent because the parts of that immovable space, in which those motions are performed, do by no means come under the observation of our senses.

Anyone who’s looked into a newborn’s innocent eyes should realize how incredible it is to be blessed with a new life.

From wonder into wonder existence opens.

Once we believe in ourselves, we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight, or any experience that reveals the human spirit.

I’m here as a product of process of evolution, which doesn’t make very many exceptions. And which rates life relatively cheaply.

Anything can make me stop and look and wonder, and sometimes learn.

Wonder is the basis of worship.

It has been discovered that all the world is made of the same atoms, that the stars are of the same stuff as ourselves. It then becomes a question of where our stuff came from. Not just where did life come from, or where did the earth come from, but where did the stuff of life and of the earth come from?

To destroy is always the first step in any creation.

If you enjoy living, it is not difficult to keep the sense of wonder.

Most sets of values would give rise to universes that, although they might be very beautiful, would contain no one able to wonder at that beauty.

The method of nature: who could ever analyze it?

Miracles, in the sense of phenomena we cannot explain, surround us on every hand: life itself is the miracle of miracles.

Writing is challenging work because it’s so easy to get consumed with how it’s going, what’s going to happen to it, who’s going to like or not like it. You want to get all of that stuff out of your head and just let the work flow.

Most people don’t like change. They revolt against it unless they can clearly see the advantage it brings. For that reason, when good leaders prepare to take action or make changes, they take people through a process to get them ready for it.
