"If you sell, say, two thousand copies, it is the same thing as if you had sold nothing at all because two thousand is too vast-I mean, for the imagination to grasp. While thirty-seven people-perhaps thirty-seven are too many, perhaps seventeen would have been better or even seven-but still thirty-seven are still within the scope of one's imagination."

"So what I'm saying is why don't we think about changing Schrodinger's equation at some level when masses become too big at the level that you might have to worry about Einstein's general relativity."

"Ocean is more ancient than the mountains, and freighted with the memories and the dreams of Time."
Dream
"The most merciful thing in the world... is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents."
Mind
"To the scientist there is the joy in pursuing truth which nearly counteracts the depressing revelations of truth."
Truth
"But are not the dreams of poets and the tales of travellers notoriously false?"
Dream
"Contrary to what you may assume, I am not a pessimist but an indifferentist- that is, I don't make the mistake of thinking that the... cosmos... gives a damn one way or the other about the especial wants and ultimate welfare of mosquitoes, rats, lice, dogs, men, horses, pterodactyls, trees, fungi, dodos, or other forms of biological energy."
Philosophy
"It's hard to have done all one's growing up since 33 - but that's a damn sight better than not growing up at all."
Growth
"May the merciful god, if indeed there be such, guard those hours when no power of the will, or drug that the cunning of man devises, can keep me from the chasm of sleep. Death is merciful, for there is no return therefrom, but with him who has come back out of the nethermost chambers of night, haggard and knowing, peace rests nevermore."
Mortality
"When the stars were right, They could plunge from world to world through the sky; but when the stars were wrong, They could not live."
Life
"So through endless twilights I dreamed and waited, though I knew not what I waited for. Then in the shadowy solitude my longing for light grew so frantic that I could rest no more, and I lifted entreating hands to the single black ruined tower that reached above the forest into the unknown outer sky. And at last I resolved to scale that tower, fall through I might; since it were better to glimpse the sky and perish, than to live without even beholding day."
Longing
"An isolated person requires correspondence as a means of seeing his ideas as others see them, and thus guarding against the dogmatisms and extravagances of solitary and uncorrected speculation. No man can learn to reason and appraise from a mere perusal of the writing of others. If he live not in the world, where he can observe the public at first hand and be directed toward solid reality by the force of conversation and spoken debate, then he must sharpen his discrimination and regulate his perceptive balance by an equivalent exchange of ideas in epistolary form."
