It doesn't approach an object with prejudice or preconception, but handles each thing dispassionately before embracing it and, if necessary, finds advantage in what opposes it. It is like fire in this regard. Whereas a feeble flame might suffocate under a pile of dry sticks, a robust fire consumes everything it touches. The more objects of any kind heaped on it, the higher it rises, the hotter it burns.”

“Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.”

“Out Milky Way is the dwelling; the nebulae are the city.”

“We are not put into this world to sit still and know; we are put into it to act.”

“The comic and the tragic lie inseparably close, like light and shadow.”

“There is no one so old as to not think they may live a day longer.”
