Anybody who has been seriously engaged in scientific work of any kind realizes that over the entrance to the gates of the temple of science are written the words: ‘Ye must have faith.’

Max Planck

I had always looked upon the search for the absolute as the noblest and most worth while task of science.

Science advances one funeral at a time.

An indispensable hypothesis, even though still far from being a guarantee of success, is however the pursuit of a specific aim, whose lighted beacon, even by initial failures, is not betrayed.
MAX PLANCK

Betrayal Failure Goal Light Pursuit Success
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.

I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as a derivative of consciousness.

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.

Art Equality Impossible Religion Science Simplicity
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.

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

Whence come I and whither go I? That is the great unfathomable question, the same for every one of us. Science has no answer to it.

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

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

Every advance in knowledge brings us face to face with the mystery of our own being.

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.

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
