The roads by which men arrive at their insights into celestial matters seem to me almost as worthy of wonder as those matters in themselves.

I much prefer the sharpest criticism of a single intelligent man to the thoughtless approval of the masses.

Science is the process of thinking God's thoughts after Him.

Where there is matter, there is geometry.

Why are things as they are and not otherwise?

Geometry is the archetype of the beauty of the world.

Once miracles are admitted, every scientific explanation is out of the question.

I had the intention of becoming a theologian...but now I see how God is, by my endeavors, also glorified in astronomy, for 'the heavens declare the glory of God.'

Since we astronomers are priests of the highest God in regard to the book of nature, it befits us to be thoughtful, not of the glory of our minds, but rather, above all else, of the glory of God.

Truth is the daughter of time, and I feel no shame in being her midwife.

My greatest desire is that I may perceive the God whom I find everywhere in the external world, in like manner also within and inside myself.

A wise bird would rather lose a worm than a feather.

Pigs should not make friends with butchers. One must choose one's friends wisely.

You make the money in movies and TV so you can do theater. I do a play a year... somewhere.

Do for yourself or do without.

That's what music is: entertainment. The more you put yourself into it, the more of you comes out in it.

What can a sales person say to somebody to get them to buy a product that they already use every day if they don't like it? Nothing.

I love writing things down so pretty much every card I send to friends or family is an over enthusiastic essay. I've written some pretty good ones in my time.

There are things which cannot be taught in ten easy lessons, nor popularized for the masses; they take years of skull sweat.
