Freedom of thought is best promoted by the gradual illumination of men's minds which follows from the advance of science.

Science is the century-old endeavour to bring together... perceptible phenomena... through systematic thought.

If there is any religion that could respond to the needs of modern science, it would be Buddhism.

Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind.

I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.

Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's living at it.
