The eternal mystery of the world is its comprehensibility.

There are truths that prove their discoverers witless.

One doesn’t discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time.

They are ill discoverers that think there is no land, when they can see nothing but sea.

Nature has planted in our minds an insatiable desire to seek the truth.

What one man can invent another can discover.

Appearances are a glimpse of the obscure.

What one man can invent another can discover.

New things are always ugly.

Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world.
