The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science. He who know it not and can no longer wonder, no longer feel amazement, is as good as dead, a snuffed-out candle. Albert Einstein quotes The farther back you can look, the farther forward you are likely to see. Winston Churchill quotes If a man loves the labour of his trade, apart from any question of success or fame, the gods have called him. Robert Louis Stevenson quotes Why not upset the apple cart? If you don't, the apples will rot anyway. Frank A. Clark quotes The finest emotion of which we are capable is the mystic emotion. Herein lies the germ of all art and all true science. Anyone to whom this feeling is alien, who is no longer capable of wonderment and lives in a state of fear is a dead man. To know that what is impenatrable for us really exists and manifests itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty, whose gross forms alone are intelligible to our poor faculties - this knowledge, this feeling ... that is the core of the true religious sent iment. In this sense, and in this sense alone, I rank myself amoung profoundly religious men. Albert Einstein quotes You see a lot of smart guys with dumb women, but you hardly ever see a smart woman with a dumb guy. Erica Jong quotes Parting is all we know of heaven, and all we need of hell. Emily Dickinson quotes Those who don't know how to weep with their whole heart, don't know how to laugh either. Golda Meir quotes Your manuscript is both good and original, but the part that is good is not original and the part that is original is not good. Samuel Johnson quotes One of the strongest motives that lead men to art and science is escape from everyday life with its painful crudity and hopeless dreariness, from the fetters of one's own ever-shifting desires. A finely tempered nature longs to escape from the personal life into the world of objective perception and thought. Albert Einstein quotes |
