| Knowledge is like money, the more a man gits the more he hankers for. |
| The fact that knowledge endlessly recedes as the investigator is about to grasp it is what constitutes at the same time his torment and happiness. |
| Many men are stored full of unused knowledge. Like loaded guns that are never fired off, or military magazines in times of peace, they are stuffed with useless ammunition. |
| Knowledge hath in it somewhat of the serpent, and therefore where it entereth into a man it makes him swell. |

| There is a certain combination of anarchy and discipline in the way I work. |
| Some people regard discipline as a chore. For me, it is a kind of order that sets me free to fly. |
