“Each morning sees some task begun, each evening sees it close; Something attempted, something done, has earned a night's repose.”

“I want to build a billion tiny factories, models of each other, which are manufacturing simultaneously… The principles of physics, as far as I can see, do not speak against the possibility of maneuvering things atom by atom. It is not an attempt to violate any laws; it is something, in principle, that can be done; but in practice, it has not been done because we are too big.”

“I love this mansion, though it is too many windows...to open halfway each morning...to close halfway each night.”

“Something has happened, hasn't it? ... It's like being up close to something so large you don't even see it. Even now, I'm not sure I can. But I know it's there.”

“People are wonderful. Each one has a story, each something to give, each knows something interesting, something that can make your life richer.”

“Each of us have a gift, you see, given us freely by the universe. And each of us with every breath gives something back”
