“Contentment is the only real wealth”

“If I have a thousand ideas and only one turns out to be good, I am satisfied”

“Thus each of us had to be content to live only for the day, alone under the vast indifference of the sky.”

“The only real valuable thing is intuition.”

“Does that mean you're prepared to deal with whatever turns up? People aren't sometimes. When they learn the real truth, they're all of a sudden content to live with a lie.”

“It is this mythical, or rather symbolic, content of the religious traditions which is likely to come into conflict with science. This occurs whenever this religious stock of ideas contains dogmatically fixed statements on subjects which belong in the domain of science.”

“Man's real genius and knowledge remains preserved in books”
