Imperishable moments and immortal deeds, death itself and love stronger than death, will be as though they had never been. The energies of our system will decay, the glory of the sun will be dimmed and the earth tideless and inert, will no longer tolerate the race which has for the moment disturbed its solitude. Man will go down into the pit and all his thoughts will perish. The uneasy consciousness, which in this obscure corner has for a brief space broken the contented silence of the universe, will be at rest Picture Quote #1

Every human soul is of infinite value, eternal, free; no human being, therefore, is so placed as not to have within his reach, in himself and others, objects adequate to infinite endeavor Picture Quote #1

Though the parallel is not complete, it is safe to say that science will never touch them unaided by its practical applications. Its wonders may be catalogued for purposes of education, they may be illustrated by arresting experiments, by numbers and magnitudes which startle or fatigue the imagination but they will form no familiar portion of the intellectual furniture of ordinary men unless they be connected, however remotely, with the conduct of ordinary life Picture Quote #1

Science preceded the theory of science, and is independent of it. Science preceded naturalism, and will survive it Picture Quote #1

I am more or less happy when being praised, not very comfortable when being abused, but I have moments of uneasiness when being explained Picture Quote #1

It is unfortunate, considering that enthusiasm moves the world, that so few enthusiasts can be trusted to speak the truth Picture Quote #1
