The Creator, the fountain of all wisdom, the approver of perpetual order, the eternal and superessential spring of geometry and harmonics.

I much prefer the sharpest criticism of a single intelligent man to the thoughtless approval of the masses.

Science is the process of thinking God's thoughts after Him.

Where there is matter, there is geometry.

Why are things as they are and not otherwise?

Geometry is the archetype of the beauty of the world.

Once miracles are admitted, every scientific explanation is out of the question.

I had the intention of becoming a theologian...but now I see how God is, by my endeavors, also glorified in astronomy, for 'the heavens declare the glory of God.'

Since we astronomers are priests of the highest God in regard to the book of nature, it befits us to be thoughtful, not of the glory of our minds, but rather, above all else, of the glory of God.

Truth is the daughter of time, and I feel no shame in being her midwife.

My greatest desire is that I may perceive the God whom I find everywhere in the external world, in like manner also within and inside myself.

Just because I am paranoid does not mean that someone is not out to get me

Nature never makes any blunders when she makes a fool she means it.

Heroes don't wear diapers. It's just not cool.

The most difficult is the first family, to bring someone out of the world.

The best crime novels are all based on people keeping secrets. All lying - you may think a lie is harmless, but you put them all together and there's a calamity.

If you take yourself too seriously, you're dead in the water. I think the key to all is to have a laugh, have fun, and express every desire you had, as a kid.

And now, without having wearied my friends, I hope, with detailed scientific accounts, theories, or deductions, I will only say that I have endeavoured to tell just the story of the adventure itself.

Life's a choice: you can live in black and white, or you can live in colour. I'll take every shade of the rainbow and the gazillion in between!

We don't have a lot of Sikhs in France. We've got some. But we don't really hear much from them or about them. Which is good news.

Far from idleness being the root of all evil, it is rather the only true good.
