Science is a cemetery of dead ideas.

They are ill discoverers that think there is no land, when they can see nothing but sea.

One sees great things from the valley; only small things from the peak.

I learned to make my mind large, as the universe is large, so that there is room for paradoxes.

There are truths that prove their discoverers witless.

Appearances are a glimpse of the obscure.

What one man can invent another can discover.

New things are always ugly.

True originality consists not in a new manner but in a new vision.

Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world.
