对我来说,似乎就连最聪明的人对於上帝的看法也是如此。

对於这些定律,我们只有模糊的了解。
以我们有限的智力,无法理解那推动著星宿们运行的神秘力量。
我为史宾诺莎的泛神论著迷,但更欣赏他对於现代思想的贡献。
因为他是第一位把灵魂和身体看作一体的哲学家,而不是把它们当成是两个分开的东西。
想像力比知识更重要。
因为知识是有限的,而想像力是无限,它包含了一切,推动着进步,是人类进化的源泉。

原文:A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving...在我看来,现在有许多人—甚至包括科学家—似乎都只是见树不见林。
关於历史与哲学背景的知识,可以提供给那些大部份正受到当代偏颇观念所左右的科学家们一种不随波逐流的独立性。
这种由哲学的洞察力所创造的独立性,依我来看,正是一个工匠或专家,与一个真正的真理追寻者之间,最大的区别。
原文:So many people today — and even professional scientists — seem to me like someone who has seen thousands of trees but has never seen a forest. A knowledge of the historic and philosophical background gives that kind of independence from prejudices of his generation from which most scientists are suffering. This independence created by philosophical insight is — in my opinion — the mark of distinction between a mere artisan or specialist and a real seeker after truth.后世之人大概不会相信,有这样一个有血有肉的人(圣雄甘地)曾走在这地球上。
原文:Generations to come will scarcely believe that such a one as this walked the earth in flesh and blood.如果一个想法在一开始不是荒谬的,那它就是没有希望的。
