“Science, for me, gives a partial explanation for life. In so far as it goes, it is based on fact, experience and experiment.”

I maintain that faith in this world is perfectly possible without faith in another world.

Science and everyday life cannot and should not be separated.

My method of thought and reasoning is influenced by a scientific training—if that were not so my scientific training will have been a waste and a failure.

I maintain that faith in this world is perfectly possible without faith in another world.

In my view, all that is necessary for faith is the belief that by doing our best we shall succeed in our aims: the improvement of mankind.

I see no reason to believe that a creator of protoplasm or primeval matter, if such there be, has any reason to be interested in our insignificant race in a tiny corner of the universe, and still less in us, as still more insignificant individuals.

I agree that faith is essential to success in life, but I do not accept your definition of faith, i.e. belief in life after death.

I would willingly go more primitive if it were necessary to preserve my freedom.

Your faith rests on the future of yourself and others as individuals, mine in the future and fate of our successors.

What’s the use of doing all this work if we don’t get some fun out of this?

Traveling around in a little tin box isolates one from the people and the atmosphere of the place in a way that I have never experienced before.

Every experience is a lesson. Every loss is a gain.

Feeling and experiencing infinity within this finite body, living timelessness within the time span of life – this is what you are here for.

Even in India the Hindi film industry might be the best known but there are movies made in other regional languages in India, be it Tamil or Bengali. Those experiences too are different from the ones in Bombay.

Experience is not what happens to a man, it is what a man does with what happens to him.

The more you are blessed with experience, the fuller and the more enriched you are in your craft.

Every fresh experience points out some form of error which we shall afterwards carefully avoid.

Make a list of twenty-five things you want to experience before you die. Carry it in your wallet or purse and refer to it often.

I’ve seen maturity evolve more through experience than age.
