“Weight, force and casual impulse, together with resistance, are the four external powers in which all the visible actions of mortals have their being and their end.”

“You grow in reputation like bread in the hands of a child.”

“Instrumental or mechanical science is the noblest and above all others, the most useful.”

“no people can be both ignorant and free.”

“To be fond of learning is near to wisdom.”

“I read books and talked to people. I mean that's kind of how one learns anything. There's lots of great books out there & lots of smart people.”

“A man may love a woman perfectly, and yet by no means ignorantly maintain a thousand women have not larger eyes. Enough that she alone has looked at him with eyes that, large or small, have won his soul.”

“We were poor when I was young but the difference was that the government didn't come around telling you you were poor.”

“We sit down before the picture in order to have something done to us, not that we may do things with it. The first demand any work of art makes upon us is surrender. Look. Listen. Receive. Get yourself out of the way (there is no good asking first whether the work before you deserves such a surrender, for until you have surrendered you cannot possibly find out.”
