Werner Heisenberg
“Not only is the Universe stranger than we think, it is stranger than we can think.”
Werner Heisenberg, Across the Frontiers

James P. Carse
“A culture can be no stronger than its strongest myths.”
James P. Carse, Finite and Infinite Games: A Vision of Life as Play and Possibility

Francis Bacon
“We represent300 also all multiplications301 of light, which we carry to great distance, and make so sharp as to discern small points and lines; also all colorations of light:”
Francis Bacon, New Atlantis and The Great Instauration

Kathryn Schulz
“To err is to wander, and wandering is the way we discover the world; and, lost in thought, it is also the way we discover ourselves. Being right might be gratifying, but in the end it is static, a mere statement. Being wrong is hard and humbling, and sometimes even dangerous, but in the end it is a journey, and a story.”
Kathryn Schulz, Being Wrong: Adventures in the Margin of Error

Thomas Nagel
“The universe has become not only conscious and aware of itself but capable in some respects of choosing its path into the future--though all three, the consciousness, the knowledge, and the choice, are dispersed over a vast crowd of beings, acting both individually and collectively.”
Thomas Nagel, Mind & Cosmos: Why the Materialist Neo-Darwinian Conception of Nature is Almost Certainly False
