2. “An important scientific innovation rarely makes its way by gradually winning over and converting its opponents: it rarely happens that Saul becomes Paul. What does happen is that its opponents gradually die out and that the growing generation is familiarized with the idea from the beginning.”
3. “If anybody says he can think about quantum problems without getting giddy, that only shows he has not understood the first thing about them.”
4. “If one wishes to obtain a definite answer from Nature one must attack the question from a more general and less selfish point of view.”
5. “It is not the possession of truth, but the success which attends the seeking after it, that enriches the seeker and brings happiness to him.”
6. “Nothing is more interesting to the true theorist than a fact which directly contradicts a theory generally accepted up to that time, for this is his particular work."
7. “Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of Nature. And it is because in the last analysis we ourselves are part of the mystery we are trying to solve.”
