No burden is so heavy for a man to bear as a succession of happy days.

Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of nature. And that is because, in the last analysis, we ourselves are a part of the mystery that we are trying to solve.

Anybody who has been seriously engaged in scientific work of any kind realizes that over the entrance to the gates of the temple of science are written the words: 'Ye must have faith.'

A scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.

All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force... We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent Mind. This Mind is the matrix of all matter.

There can never be any real opposition between religion and science; for the one is the complement of the other.

I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as a derivative of consciousness.

Every advance in knowledge brings us face to face with the mystery of our own being.

In all my research I have never come across matter. To me the term matter implies a bundle of energy which is given form by an intelligent spirit.

Thus, the photons which constitute a ray of light behave like intelligent human beings: out of all possible curves they always select the one which will take them most quickly to their goal.

The scientist needs an artistically creative imagination.

Shouldn't there be more distaste in our mouths for the abusers than for those who continue to love the abusers?

If you think you understand what I am saying you do not understand what I am saying.

I like to see what future generations are thinking about.

PROMOTE A REVOLUTIONARY FLOOD AND TIDE IN ART. Promote living art, anti-art, promote NON ART REALITY to be fully grasped by all peoples, not only critics, dilettantes and professionals.

Tyranny is the political corollary of socialism, as representative government is the political corollary of the market economy.

In America, the policeman is a working-class hero. In England, the policeman is a working-class traitor.

I enjoy the quiet life.

The only book I ever read cover to cover was The Pete Rose Story. I read half of The Lou Gehrig Story and then made a book report on it for four straight years.

I do not recognize these as defeats. They are but interesting experiences of life. They are valuable stepping stones to success.

The more I make the more I can give away.
