“Science is not just a collection of laws, or a catalog of unrelated facts. It is a creation of the human mind, with its freely invented ideas and concepts.”
“The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is comprehensible.”
“We know very little, and yet, it is astonishing that we know so much, and still more astonishing is that, so little knowledge (of science) can give us so much power.”
“I do not know what I may appear to the world. I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea-shore and diverting myself now and then by finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, while the great ocean of truth lay undiscovered before me.”
