“Laura remarked that science was dependent upon poetry, that all scientific description was metaphoric.”

“In scientific thinking are always present elements of poetry. Science and music requires a thought homogeneous.”

“I sense the world might be more dreamlike, metaphorical, and poetic than we currently believe--but just as irrational as sympathetic magic when looked at in a typically scientific way. I wouldn't be surprised if poetry--poetry in the broadest sense, in the sense of a world filled with metaphor, rhyme, and recurring patterns, shapes, and designs--is how the world works. The world isn't logical, it's a song.”

“So much depends upon the transparent G-tube erupting from the gut of the blue-lipped boy. So much depends upon this observer of the universe"......."And you say you don't write poetry.”

“Science is the poetry of the intellect and poetry the science of the heart's affections.”

“Pray as if it all depends upon God, for it does. But work as if it all depends upon us, for it does.”
