Heinrich Hertz

Imagination is more important than knowledge.

I am not a chef. I am a physicist.

The only source of knowledge is experience.

I am not a gardener. I am a physicist.

Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.

I am not a carpenter. I am a physicist.

The mind is everything. What you think you become.

I am not a painter. I am a physicist.

The best way to predict the future is to create it.

I am not a sculptor. I am a physicist.

I am not a poet. I am a physicist.

The unexamined life is not worth living.

I am not a dancer. I am a physicist.

I do not think that the knowledge of the physical world is the only knowledge, or even the most important knowledge. But it is a knowledge that we can acquire, and it is a knowledge that can be useful to us.

The most important thing is to never stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existence.

We must not be afraid to doubt, to question, to challenge. It is through doubt that we are led to truth.

The human mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled.

The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.

Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's living at it.

The true value of a human being is determined primarily by the measure and the sense in which he has attained liberation from the self.
