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

Max Planck

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.

Mystery Nature Ourselves Science Try
We are in a position similar to that of a mountaineer who is wandering over uncharted spaces, and never knows whether behind the peak which he sees in front of him and which he tries to scale there may not be another peak still beyond and higher up.
MAX PLANCK

Beyond Position Space
Scientific work will never stop, and it would be terrible if it did. If there were no more problems, you would put your hands in your pockets and your head on a pillow and would work no more. In science rest is stagnation, rest is death.
MAX PLANCK

Death Hands Science Stop Terrible Work
There can never be any real opposition between religion and science; for the one is the complement of the other.

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

Expression Law Science
I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from consciousness. We cannot get behind consciousness. Everything that we talk about, everything that we regard as existing, postulates consciousness.

Science progresses not by convincing the adherents of old theories that they are wrong, but by allowing enough time to pass so that a new generation can arise unencumbered by the old errors.

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.

An important scientific innovation rarely makes its way by gradually winning over and converting its opponents: What does happen is that the opponents gradually die out.

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

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

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.

A scientist is happy, not in resting on his attainments but in the steady acquisition of fresh knowledge.

There is a real world independent of our senses; the laws of nature were not invented by man, but forced on him by the natural world. They are the expression of a natural world order.

The scientist needs an artistically creative imagination.
