"It would be possible to describe everything scientifically, but it would make no sense; it would be without meaning, as if you described a Beethoven symphony as a variation of wave pressure."
"He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, scince for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, deplorable love-of-country stance, how violently I hate all this, how despiceable an ignoreable war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder.""As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality."
"If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?"
"Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen."
"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."
And last, a little thought for Bush to chew upon:
"You cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war."
