The Pioneer Scientist Must Have "a Vivid Intuitive Imagination, For New Ideas Are Not Generated By Deduction, But By Artistically Creative Imagination."

New Scientific Ideas Never Spring From A Communal Body, However Organized, But Rather From The Head Of An Individually Inspired Researcher Who Struggles With His Problems In Lonely Thought And Unites All His Thought On One Single Point Which Is His Whole World For The Moment.

Religion And Natural Science Are Fighting A Joint Battle In An Incessant, Never-relaxing Crusade Against Skepticism And Dogmatism, Against Disbelief And Against Superstition, And The Rallying Cry In This Crusade Has Always Been, And Will Always Be, 'on To God.'

The Worth Of A New Idea Is Invariably Determined, Not By The Degree Of Its Intuitiveness-which Incidentally, Is To A Major Extent A Matter Of Experience And Habit-but By The Scope And Accuracy Of The Individual Laws To The Discovery Of Which It Eventually Leads.

Science Cannot Solve The Ultimate Mystery Of Nature. And That Is Because, In The Last Analysis, We Ourselves Are A Part Of The Mystery That We Are Trying To Solve.
