“The man who cannot occasionally imagine events and conditions of existence that are contrary to the causal principle as he knows it will never enrich his science by the addition of a new idea.”

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.

We have no right to assume that any physical laws exist, or if they have existed up until now, that they will continue to exist in a similar manner in the future.

It is impossible to make a clear cut between science, religion, and art. The whole is never equal simply to the sum of its various parts.

The quantum hypothesis will eventually find its exact expression in certain equations which will be a more exact formulation of the law of causality.

It was not by accident that the greatest thinkers of all ages were deeply religious souls.

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

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.

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.

There is no matter as such—mind is the matrix of all matter.

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

The pioneer scientist must have “a vivid intuitive imagination, for new ideas are not generated by deduction, but by artistically creative imagination.”

Science advances funeral by funeral.

An experiment is a question which science poses to Nature and a measurement is the recording of Nature’s answer.

The entire world we apprehend through our senses is no more than a tiny fragment in the vastness of Nature.

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

What seems today inconceivable will appear one day, from a higher stand point, quite simple and harmonious.

Education, in the broadest of truest sense, will make an individual seek to help all people, regardless of race, regardless of color, regardless of condition.

If there is something comforting – religious, if you want – about paranoia, there is still also anti-paranoia, where nothing is connected to anything, a condition not many of us can bear for long.

Any work that aspires, however humbly, to the condition of art should carry its justification in every line.

During misfortunes, nothing aggravates our condition more, than to be esteemed deserving of them.

Commitment comes as a result of choice, not conditions.

The broken girls are the flowers of the earth they grow through tough conditions they bloom for themselves,

Favorable and unfavorable conditions are part of living but smiling through them all is the Art of Living.

Believing that fundamental conditions of the country are sound, my son and I have for some days been purchasing sound common stocks
