Mathematics is a language plus reasoning. It's like a language plus logic. Mathematics is a tool for reasoning.

The game I play is a very interesting one. It's imagination, in a tight straightjacket.

Philosophers say a great deal about what is absolutely necessary for science, and it is always, so far as one can see, rather naive, and probably wrong.

All theoretical chemistry is really physics and all theoretical chemists know it.

I couldn't claim that I was smarter than sixty-five other guys--but the average of sixty-five other guys, certainly!

Energy is a very subtle concept. It is very, very difficult to get right.

I have the advantage of having found out how hard it is to get to really know something. How careful you have to be about checking your experiments. How easy it is to make mistakes and fool yourself. I know what it means to know something.
