"I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research."

"Indeed, I would feel that an appreciation of the arts in a conscious, disciplined way might help one to do science better."
