I'm looking for a market for wisdom.

If you want to succeed in the world, you don't have to be much cleverer than other people. You just have to be one day earlier.

Three stages of truth for scientists: It's not true. If it is true, it's not very important. We knew it all along.

We turned the switch, saw the flashes, watched for ten minutes, then switched everything off and went home. That night I knew the world was headed for sorrow.

You may assume infinite ignorance and unlimited intelligence.

Even if we accept, as the basic tenet of true democracy, that one moron is equal to one genius, is it necessary to go a further step and hold that two morons are better than one genius?

Do not destroy what you cannot create.

Do your work for six years; but in the seventh, go into solitude or among strangers, so that the memory of your friends does not hinder you from being what you have become.

If one knows only what one is told, one does not know enough to be able to arrive at a well-balanced decision.

A scientist's aim in a discussion with his colleagues is not to persuade, but to clarify.

Pronouncement of experts to the effect that something cannot be done has always irritated me.

Your relationship or marriage is dead or dying, if you almost always have to remind your partner to miss you (and/or they almost always have to remind you to miss them).

Obstinacy is the result of the will forcing itself into the place of the intellect.

Every day is not perfect. You have your bad days and good days just like anyone else. You do not want to talk to people sometimes. It is normal.

Infectious Disease is one of the few genuine adventures left in the world.

Nothing is of a permanent nature.

I wish you would notice that you are heterosexual.

I like it when someone gives me a new book of poetry by a poet I haven't read.

You cannot control the market, you cannot control the players, you cannot control the clubs. You can try - but we have done our best.

Happy to me is not what I thought happy was. Happy is actually better, because it includes room for sadness. A definition of success must leave room for failure, because it's part of it.

There's a hierarchy in prison, and I was right at the top.
