The world is my country. Science my religion.

Christiaan Huygens Mathematician

I do not believe anything very certainly, but everything very probably.

Christiaan Huygens Mathematician

It is surrounded by a thin flat ring, inclined to the ecliptic, and nowhere touches the body of the planet.

Christiaan Huygens Mathematician

The rest of the planets have their dress and furniture, nay and their inhabitants too, as well as this Earth of ours.

Christiaan Huygens Mathematician

Mathematics deals exclusively with the relations of concepts to each other without consideration of their relation to experience.

Albert Einstein Theoretical Physicist

You have to have a lot of ideas. First, if you want to make discoveries, it's a good thing to have good ideas. And second, you have to have a sort of sixth sense-the result of judgment and experience-which ideas are worth following up. I seem to have the first thing, a lot of ideas, and I also seem to have good judgment as to which are the bad ideas that I should just ignore, and the good ones, that I'd better follow up.

Linus Pauling Chemist

When carbon (C), Oxygen (o) and hydrogen (H) atoms bond in a certain way to form sugar, the resulting compound has a sweet taste. The sweetness resides neither in the C, nor in the O, nor in the H; it resides in the pattern that emerges from their interaction. It is an emergent property. Moreover, strictly speaking, is not a property of the chemical bonds. It is a sensory experience that arises when the sugar molecules interact with the chemistry of our taste buds, which in turns causes a set of neurons to fire in a certain way. The experience of sweetness emerges from that neural activity.

Fritjof Capra Physicist

For I dipped into the future, far as human eye could see, Saw the Vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be.

Alfred Lord Tennyson Poet

Is there Chance? No. There is karma. Karma causes all things to happen. There is only one thing karma cannot decide, and that is how far you will evolve in this lifetime.

Frederick Lenz Author

The King saw them with no common satisfaction, expressing his desire in no particular to have yt Stellar fish engraven and printed. We wish very much, Sir, yt you could procure for us a particular description of yesd Fish, viz. whether it be common there; what is observable in it when alive; what colour it then hath; what kind of motion in the water; what use it maketh of all that curious workmanship, wch Nature hath adorn'd it with?

Henry Oldenburg
