Even A Fool Is Wise After An

I Agree With Schopenhauer That One Of The Most Powerful Motives That Attracts People To Science And Art Is The Longing To Escape From Everyday Life.

Science Is A Wonderful Thing If One Does Not Have To Earn One's Living At It. One Should Earn One's Living By Work Of Which One Is Sure One Is Capable. Only When We Do Not Have To Be Accountable To Anybody Can We Find Joy In Scientific Endeavor.

If We Knew What It Was We Were Doing, It Would Not Be Called Research, Would It?

Thanks To My Fortunate Idea Of Introducing The Relativity Principle Into Physics, You (and Others) Now Enormously Overrate My Scientific Abilities, To The Point Where This Makes Me Quite Uncomfortable.

To Punish Me For My Contempt For Authority, Fate Made Me An Authority Myself.
