The scientist needs an artistically creative imagination.

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.

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.'

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.

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.

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

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.

I don't want my kids to be like me. I want them to be better than me.

...only someone who'd never been an animal would put up a sign saying not to feed them....

Being a pioneering reformer is all fine and good, but it does leave one terribly in want of agood party!

A Puritan is a person who lives in the fear that someone somewhere may be having a good time.

You are either in the Word and the Word is conforming you to the image of Jesus Christ, or you are in the world and the world is squeezing you into its mold.

And you may blame me for your feelings, but it isn't fair to blame me for how you've chosen to behave.

You shouldn’t say I can’t until you’ve tried.

Gratitude unifies the mind of man with the intelligence of substance, so that man's thoughts are received by the formless.

Without dreams we would be cows in a field, and I don't want to live like that. I live my life or I end my life with this project.
