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

It is never possible to predict a physical occurrence with unlimited precision.

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

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.

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.

Love is the greatest apologetic. It is the essential component in reaching the whole person in a fragmented world. The need is vast, but it is also imperative that we be willing to follow the example of Jesus and meet the need.

My sexual nature is irrelevant. I’m an actor, I play roles, fragments of myself.

Don’t let the sun go down on me Although I search myself, it’s always someone else I see I’d just allow a fragment of your life to wander free But losing everything is like the sun going down on me

I am not afraid of love. I am afraid of loving so hard that every vein and bone and fragment of this skin, would break at the absence of you.

Fragments of the natural method must be sought with the greatest care. This is the first and last desideratum among botanists. Nature makes no jumps. All taxa show relationships on all sides like the countries on a map of the world.

I like the fact that by mimicking the way memory works, a writer can actually write in a fluid way – one solid scene doesn’t have to fall on another solid scene, you can just have a fragment that then dovetails into another one that took place 30 years apart from it.

Seeing your face so high in fragments on the sky, your voice in the wind, just one day I’d like to be in your arms once again.

A composer’s job involves the decoration of fragments of time.
