One of the strongest motives that lead men to art and science is escape from everyday life with its painful crudity and hopeless dreariness, from the fetters of one's own ever-shifting desires. A finely tempered nature longs to escape from the personal life into the world of objective perception and thought.

I am a deeply religious nonbeliever - this is a somewhat new kind of religion.

The comprehensibility of the world seems to me a wonder or eternal secret. Here lies the sense of wonder which increases even more with the development of our knowledge.

Scientists investigate that which already is Engineers create that which has never been.

You can never solve a problem with the same kind of thinking that created the problem in the first place.
