“As we acquire knowledge, things do not become more comprehensible, but more mysterious.”

“The more science discovers and the more comprehension it gives us of the mechanisms of existence, the more clearly does the mystery of existence itself stand out.”

“The more we become able to become a child again, to keep ourselves childlike, the more we can understand that because we love the world and we are open to understanding, to comprehension, that when we kill the child in us, we are no longer.”

“The possession of knowledge does not kill the sense of wonder and mystery. There is always more mystery.”

“The power of generalizing ideas, of drawing comprehensive conclusions from individual observations, is the only acquirement, for an immortal being, that really deserves the name of knowledge.”

“New knowledge is the most valuable commodity on earth. The more truth we have to work with, the richer we become.”
