“I think Newton would be the greatest scientist who ever lived.”
“Now, we used to think the brain was like a computer. But now, we realize that's not true. There's no programming of the brain. There's no Windows.

“Bilinçdışından her zaman dolaysız bir yanıt alamıyorsak, içerdiği bilgiye nasıl erişiyoruz peki? Bazen iş, sezgilerinizin size söylediklerini biraz kurcalamakta biter.

Ama tutar da kararını yazı-turaya bağlamanın saçma sapan bir şey olduğunu söylerse, aslında diğer seçeneği yeğlediğine dair bir ipucudur bu.”
“Nay, the same Solomon the king, although he excelled in the glory of treasure and magnificent buildings, of shipping and navigation, of service and attendance, of fame and renown, and the like, yet he maketh no claim to any of those glories, but only to the glory of inquisition of truth; for so he saith expressly, "The glory of God is to conceal a thing, but the glory of the king is to find it out;" as if, according to the innocent play of children, the Divine Majesty took delight to hide His works, to the end to have them found out; and as if kings could not obtain a greater honour than to be God's playfellows in that game”
“Bad times have a scientific value. These are occasions a good learner would not miss.”
