I'm one of those people that think Thomas Edison and the light bulb changed the world more than Karl Marx ever did.

Science is incompetent to reason upon the creation of matter itself out of nothing. We have reached the utmost limit of our thinking faculties when we have admitted that because matter cannot be eternal and self-existent it must have been created.

The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.

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

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

To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a new angle, requires creative imagination and marks real advance in science.
