"I'm forty-nine, not fifteen, and I've made my peace with myself. Had I been handsome and stupid when I was fifteen, or twenty-one, as, at that time in life, I wished I had been, I would undoubtedly now no longer be handsome--but I'd still be stupid. So, in the long run, I've won out."
"Imagine that. Terrible, terrible, the way we have all bent to the yoke; the affection we have for the harness about us."
"Of course there are worlds. Millions of them! Every star you see has worlds, and most of those you don't see."
"Have you ever come across something you couldn't explain?""Explain in what way? I could explain a ghost by saying, 'yes, that's a ghost.' I take it, that's not what you mean."
"In all the known history of Mankind, advances have been made primarily in physical technology; in the capacity of handling the inanimate world about Man.

Ambitious men will not wait and unscrupulous men will not hang back. By their every action they will hasten the decay of the worlds."
"It is the obvious which is so difficult to see most of the time. People say 'It's as plain as the nose on your face.' But how much of the nose on your face can you see, unless someone holds a mirror up to you?"
