“The helpful thought for which you lookIs written somewhere in a book.”

“Somewhere embedded in every ordinary book are the five or six words for which really all the rest will be written.”

“The books that help you most are those which make you think the most. A great book that comes from a great thinker is a ship of thought, deep freighted with truth and beauty.”

“Philosophy [nature] is written in that great book which ever is before our eyes -- I mean the universe -- but we cannot understand it if we do not first learn the language and grasp the symbols in which it is written. The book is written in mathematical language, and the symbols are triangles, circles and other geometrical figures, without whose help it is impossible to comprehend a single word of it; without which one wanders in vain through a dark labyrinth.”

“The books that help you most are those which make you think the most. The hardest way of learning is that of easy reading; but a great book that comes from a great thinker is a ship of thought, deep freighted with truth and beauty.”

“In an infinite universe, all things are possible -- within physical limits, that is -- and any book that can be written does physically exist. Somewhere. The book is the bridge between the words and the physical actuality.”
