I Think 99 Times And Find Nothing.

Reading, After A Certain Age, Diverts The Mind Too Much From Its Creative Pursuits. Any Man Who Reads Too Much And Uses His Own Brain Too Little Falls Into Lazy Habits Of Thinking.

Man, Surrounded By Facts, Permitting Himself No Surprise, No Intuitive Flash, No Great Hypothesis, No Risk, Is In A Locked Cell. Ignorance Cannot Seal The Mind And Imagination More Securely.

...the Physicist Cannot Simply Surrender To The Philosopher The Critical Contemplation Of The Theoretical Foundations; For, He Himself Knows Best, And Feels More Surely Where The Shoe Pinches...physical Conceptions Are Free Creations Of The Human Mind, And Are Not, However It May Seem, Uniquely Determined By The External World.

We Can Invent As Many Theories We Like, And Any One Of Them Can Be Made To Fit The Facts. But That Theory Is Always Preferred Which Makes The Fewest Number Of Assumptions.

I Do Not Believe In Immortality Of The Individual, And I Consider Ethics To Be An Exclusively Human Concern With No Superhuman Authority Behind It.
