Concepts which have proved useful for ordering things easily assume so great an authority over us, that we forget their terrestrial origin and accept them as unalterable facts. They then become labeled as 'conceptual necessities,' etc. The road of scientific progress is frequently blocked for long periods by such errors.

New frameworks are like climbing a mountain - the larger view encompasses rather than rejects the more restricted view.
Albert Einstein
Image
My interest in science was always essentially limited to the study of principles.... That I have published so little is due to this same circumstance, as the great need to grasp principles has caused me to spend most of my time on fruitless pursuits.

A life directed chiefly toward the fulfillment of personal desires will sooner or later always lead to bitter disappointment.
