A book on the new physics, if not purely descriptive of experimental work, must essentially be mathematical.

I consider that I understand an equation when I can predict the properties of its solutions, without actually solving it.

A theory with mathematical beauty is more likely to be correct than an ugly one that fits some experimental data.

God used beautiful mathematics in creating the world.

It seems that if one is working from the point of view of getting beauty in one's equations, and if one has really a sound insight, one is on a sure line of progress.

Living is worthwhile if one can contribute in some small way to this endless chain of progress.

If there is a God, he's a great mathematician.

If we are honest - and scientists have to be - we must admit that religion is a jumble of false assertions, with no basis in reality.

It is more important to have beauty in one's equations than to have them fit experiment.

One could perhaps describe the situation by saying that God is a mathematician of a very high order, and He used very advanced mathematics in constructing the universe.

Scientific progress is measured in units of courage, not intelligence.

The key to your happiness, Depends on what's in focus.

foodstuffs absolved of the obligation to provide vitamins and minerals cavorted with reckless abandon.

I want a pit crew... I hate the procedure I currently have to go through when I have car problems.

Religions are easy to invent. Most traditional religions have little or nothing to do with reality, are dependent on obfuscation, interpretation, guilt, and unreasoning faith.

Everytime you see a flood like that on the news you tell yourself: That's it. That's my heart.

The vast majority of English folk cannot and will not consider a picture as a picture, apart from any story which it may be supposed to tell.

A lot of young writers are very precious about their words. Don't be - you've got to be ready to burn stuff. You're not as good as you think you are, at least not yet.

The human race is inquisitive about other people's lives, but negligent to correct their own.

I don't spend the day writing. I'll maybe write fresh copy for two hours, and then I'll go back and revise some of it and print what I like and then turn it off.

Sound morals, religious liberty, and a just sense of religious responsibility are essentially connected with all true and lasting happiness.
