"Will minus intellect constitutes vulgarity."
"Only those who know the supremacy of the intellectual life-the life which has a seed of ennobling thought and purpose within it-can understand the grief of one who falls from that serene activity into the absorbing soul-wasting struggle with worldly annoyances."
"Be convinced that, if man were able to reach the end without preparatory studies, such studies would not be preparatory but tiresome and utterly superfluous."
"The universe is built on a plan the profound symmetry of which is somehow present in the inner structure of our intellect."
"Our big mistake in modern intellectualism is first and foremost its lack of nuance. We have made science synonymous with atheism - a presupposed conception and yet, another means to non sequiturs - and therefore, to a number of enthusiasts determined to go the further, anti-theism. Hereby let us observe that science has long served best and should be, if none other, the one discipline, if at all possible, free of potential ideology, pro-religious or anti-religious, and/or biased presupposition in order to maintain the true authenticity and the full reliability of its nature."
"The higher the voice the smaller the intellect."
"No one knows a man better than himself."
"Intellectuals are too sentimental for me."
"My quest and passionate curiosity are the basis for my love for scientific adventure."
"No one will teach you what you ought to know. You must search the truth for yourself."
