“You have a right to experiment with your life. You will make mistakes. And they are right too.”

How wrong it is for a woman to expect the man to build the world she wants, rather than to create it herself.

I will not adjust myself to the world. I am adjusted to myself.

You fall in love with people’s minds.

I am a winged creature who is too rarely allowed to use its wings. Ecstasies do not occur often enough.

Willingness to explore everything is a sign of strength. The weak ones have prejudices. Prejudices are a protection.

Age does not protect you from love. But love, to some extent, protects you from age.

I postpone death by living, by suffering, by error, by risking, by giving, by losing.

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.

The possession of knowledge does not kill the sense of wonder and mystery. There is always more mystery.

Nature forms us for ourselves, not for others; to be, not to seem.

My mission, should I choose to accept it, is to find peace with exactly who and what I am. To take pride in my thoughts, my appearance, my talents, my flaws and to stop this incessant worrying that I can’t be loved as I am.

I love your silences, they are like mine.

We are cruel when someone refuses to play the role in which we have cast him. We judge a person only according to his relationship towards us.

Your eyes make me shy.

Sometimes we reveal ourselves when we are least like ourselves.

I think that in the discussion of natural problems we ought to begin not with the Scriptures, but with experiments and demonstrations.

Once you have an established song, you can really come out of your shell and experiment with the sound you want to make.

The proper method for inquiring after the properties of things is to deduce them from experiments.

Hypotheses should be subservient only in explaining the properties of things but not assumed in determining them, unless so far as they may furnish experiments.

I have experimental evidence that time travel is not possible.

If you double the number of experiments you do per year you’re going to double your inventiveness.

It is the weight, not numbers of experiments that is to be regarded.

Today’s scientists have substituted mathematics for experiments, and they wander off through equation after equation, and eventually build a structure which has no relation to reality.
