What one man can invent another can discover.

True originality consists not in a new manner but in a new vision.

How gloriously legible are the constellations of the heavens!

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

New things are always ugly.

Science is a cemetery of dead ideas.

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

The eternal mystery of the world is its comprehensibility.

The discovery of a new dish does more for human happiness than the discovery of a star.

I learned to make my mind large, as the universe is large, so that there is room for paradoxes.
