"There are three kinds of scientists: those who are good at calculations, those who are good at experiments, and those who are good at talking. I belong to the third category."
"Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution."
"The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of true art and true science."
