I am now convinced that theoretical physics is actually philosophy. It has revolutionized fundamental concepts, e.g., abut space and time (relativity), about causality (quantum theory), and about substance and matter (atomistics). It has taught us new methods of thinking (complimentarity), which are applicable far beyond physics.
Max Born
I have been thinking about our conversation and about your book, and I am afraid that I expressed myself badly yesterday. When I said that one may love and be loved at any age I ought to have added that sometimes this love comes too late. It comes when one no longer has the right to prove to the loved one how much she is loved, except by love's sacrifice.
Paul Charles Joseph Bourget
This teaching is to live as we think, otherwise, sooner or later, we end up thinking as we lived.
Paul Charles Joseph Bourget
Philosophy! Empty thinking by ignorant conceited men who think they can digest without eating!
Iris Murdoch
Oh, what a shame What a rainy ending given to a perfect day Just walk away Ain't no use defending words that you will never say And now that I'm sitting here thinking of you I've never been anywhere cold as you
Taylor Swift
All ideologies are idiotic, whether religious or political, for it is conceptual thinking, the conceptual word, which has so unfortunately divided man
Jiddu Krishnamurti
It is amazing how many of those who consider themselves "thinking people" respond automatically to words the way Pavlov's dog was conditioned to respond to certain sounds
Thomas Sowell
Too many people are thinking of security instead of opportunity. They seem to be more afraid of life than death
James F. Bymes
Weather means more when you have a garden. There's nothing like listening to a shower and thinking how it is soaking in around your green beans.
Marcelene Cox
Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge.
Carl Sagan
The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking.
Albert Einstein
Flying is a lot like playing a musical instrument; you're doing so many things and thinking of so many other things, all at the same time. It becomes a spiritual experience. Something wonderful happens in the pit of your stomach.
Dusty McTavish
The Chinese enjoyed the spectacle of death, Jim had decided, as a way of reminding themselves of how precariously they were alive. They liked to be cruel for the same reason, to remind themselves of the vanity of thinking the world was anything else.
James Graham Ballard
Discovery consists of looking at the same thing as everyone else and thinking something different
