"It would be possible to describe everything scientifically, but it would make no sense; it would be without meaning, as if you described a Beethoven symphony as a variation of wave pressure."
"As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality."
"Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen."
"If A equals success, then the formula is _ A = _ X + _ Y + _ Z. _ X is work. _ Y is play. _ Z is keep your mouth shut."
"The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources."
"I never think of the future. It comes soon enough."
"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."
"There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle."
"A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeeded be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death."
"What really interests me is whether God had any choice in the creation of the world."
