Genius is simply patience carried to the extreme Picture Quote #1

Any man could, if he were so inclined, be the sculptor of his own brain Picture Quote #1

Physical pain is easily forgotten, but a moral chagrin lasts indefinitely Picture Quote #1

It is notorious that the desire to live increases as life itself shortens Picture Quote #1

Every man if he so desires becomes sculptor of his own brain Picture Quote #1

Unfortunately, nature seems unaware of our intellectual need for convenience and unity, and very often takes delight in complication and diversity Picture Quote #1

Intellectual beauty is sufficient unto itself, and only for it rather than for the future good of humanity does the scholar condemn himself to arduous and painful labors Picture Quote #1

If a solution fails to appear... and yet we feel success is just around the corner, try resting for a while... Like the early morning frost, this intellectual refreshment withers the parasitic and nasty vegetation that smothers the good seed. Bursting forth at last is the flower of truth Picture Quote #1

Heroes and scholars represent the opposite extremes... The scholar struggles for the benefit of all humanity, sometimes to reduce physical effort, sometimes to reduce pain, and sometimes to postpone death, or at least render it more bearable. In contrast, the patriot sacrifices a rather substantial part of humanity for the sake of his own prestige. His statue is always erected on a pedestal of ruins and corpses... In contrast, all humanity crowns a scholar, love forms the pedestal of his statues, and his triumphs defy the desecration of time and the judgment of history Picture Quote #1

As long as our brain is a mystery, the universe, the reflection of the structure of the brain will also be a mystery Picture Quote #1

To know the brain... is equivalent to ascertaining the material course of thought and will, to discovering the intimate history of life in its perpetual duel with external forces Picture Quote #1

In my own view, some advice about what should be known, about what technical education should be acquired, about the intense motivation needed to succeed, and about the carelessness and inclination toward bias that must be avoided is far more useful than all the rules and warnings of theoretical logic Picture Quote #1

In summary, all great work is the fruit of patience and perseverance, combined with tenacious concentration on a subject over a period of months or years Picture Quote #1

Our novice runs the risk of failure without additional traits: a strong inclination toward originality, a taste for research, and a desire to experience the incomparable gratification associated with the act of discovery itself Picture Quote #1

To solicit the aid of luck is like stirring muddy water to bring objects submerged at the bottom to the top where they can be seen. Every worker would to well to tempt their good luck. Nevertheless, we should not depend on it too much Picture Quote #1

That which enters the mind through reason can be corrected. That which is admitted through faith, hardly ever Picture Quote #1

Nothing inspires more reverence and awe in me than an old man who knows how to change his mind Picture Quote #1

If a photographic plate under the center of a lens focused on the heavens is exposed for hours, it comes to reveal stars so far away that even the most powerful telescopes fail to reveal them to the naked eye. In a similar way, time and concentration allow the intellect to perceive a ray of light in the darkness of the most complex problem Picture Quote #1

Even granting that the genius subjected to the test of critical inspection emerges free from all error, we should consider that everything he has discovered in a given domain is almost nothing in comparison with what is left to be discovered Picture Quote #1

In adult centers the nerve paths are something fixed, ended, immutable. Everything may die, nothing may be regenerated Picture Quote #1

Like the enotmologist in search of colorful butterflies, my attention has chased in the gardens of the grey matter cells with delicate and elegant shapes, the mysterious butterflies of the soul, whose beating of wings may one day reveal to us the secrets of the mind Picture Quote #1
