"The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them."
"Generations to come will scarce believe that such a one as [Gandhi] ever in flesh and blood walked upon this earth."
"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."
"Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler."

"Physics is like sex: sure, it may give some practical results, but that's not why we do it."
"All theoretical chemistry is really physics; and all theoretical chemists know it."
"If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?"
