“Physicists like to think that all you have to do is say, these are the conditions, now what happens next?”

Science is like sex: sometimes something useful comes out, but that is not the reason we are doing it.

I’d hate to die twice. It’s so boring.

I a universe of atoms, an atom in the universe.

Nature has a great simplicity and therefore a great beauty

I don’t feel frightened by not knowing things, by being lost in a mysterious universe without any purpose, which is the way it really is, as far as I can tell. Possibly. It doesn’t frighten me.

You see, I get so much fun out of thinking that I don’t want to destroy this pleasant machine that makes life such a big kick.

To every man is given the key to the gates of heaven. The same key opens the gates of hell.

Philosophers say a great deal about what is absolutely necessary for science, and it is always, so far as one can see, rather naive, and probably wrong.

Nature uses only the longest threads to weave her patterns, so each small piece of her fabric reveals the organization of the entire tapestry.

Why nature is mathematical is, again, a mystery.

I think nature’s imagination Is so much greater than man’s, she’s never going to let us relax

I don’t know what’s the matter with people: they don’t learn by understanding; they learn by some other way—by rote, or something. Their knowledge is so fragile!

I love to think. I once considered taking drugs as an attempt to better understand an altered state of mind; however, I decided not to. I didn’t want to chance ruining the machine.

Whatever you believe, that you will be. If you believe yourselves to be sages, sages you will be tomorrow. There is nothing to obstruct you.

It is our duty to create a social milieu in which the young and the socially weak feel that the present and future belong to them.

Children are our future we must take care of them with maximum effort.

Our words reveal our thoughts; our manners mirror our self-esteem; our actions reflect our character; our habits predict the future.

I don’t know any more about the future than you do. I hope that it will be full of work, because I have come to know by experience that work is the nearest thing to happiness that I can find. I want a busy life, a just mind and a timely death.

Life is the past, the present and the perhaps.

The present was an egg laid by the past that had the future inside its shell.

I traveled into the future to get back in time.
