I know of no country in which there is so little independence of mind and real freedom of discussion as in America.

The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.

All compromise is based on give and take, but there can be no give and take on fundamentals. Any compromise on mere fundamentals is a surrender. For it is all give and no take.

My goal is simple. It is a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is, and why it exists at all.

Each year one vicious habit discarded in time might make the worst of us good.
