Heinrich Hertz

The most important thing is to be curious.

The most important thing is to be open-minded.

The most important thing is to be critical.

The most important thing is to be creative.

The most important thing is to be passionate.

I am not a physicist by nature, but a mathematician.

The more I think about the electromagnetic theory of light, the more convinced I am that it is the only true one.

I do not believe that the ether is a substance, but rather a state of space.

I have no doubt that the waves I have discovered are the same as those predicted by Maxwell.

It is not the facts themselves that are important, but the way in which they are connected.

I often feel as if I am groping in the dark, but I am always guided by the light of truth.

I am not interested in fame or fortune, but only in the advancement of knowledge.

The greatest joy of a scientist is to discover something new, to shed light on a dark corner of nature.

I am convinced that the future of physics lies in the study of electricity and magnetism.

My experiments are simple, but they are designed to answer fundamental questions.

I have often been misunderstood, but I have always tried to be clear in my explanations.

The most important thing is to have a clear idea of what you want to achieve.

I am always learning, and I hope to continue learning until the day I die.

Science is a never-ending quest for truth.

I am grateful for the support of my family and friends, who have always encouraged me in my work.
