ولا تظنن أن معرفة درجات الوحي تستدعي منصب الوحي إذ لا يبعد أن يعرف الطبيب المريض درجات الصحة ويعلم العالم الفاسق درجات العدالة وإن كان خاليا عنها فالعلم شيء ووجود المعلوم شيء آخر فلا كل من عرف النبوة والولاية كان نبيا ولا وليا ولا كل من عرف التقوى والورع ودقائقه كان تقيا ↗

For a God that created everything, it is mystifying why he created so much competition. ↗

He was a physicist, more precisely an astrophysicist, diligent and eager but without illusions: the Truth lay beyond, inaccessible to our telescopes, accessible to the initiates. This was a long road which he was traveling with effort, wonderment, and profound joy. Physics was prose: elegant gymnastics for the mind, mirror of Creation, the key to man's dominion over the planet; but what is the stature of Creation, of man and the planet? His road was long and he had barely started up it, but I was his disciple: did I want to follow him? ↗

In time you may discover everything that can be discovered, and still your progress will only be progress away from humanity. The distance between you and them can one day become so great that your joyous cry over some new gain could be answered by an universal shriek of horror. ↗

Superhero science has taught me this: Entire universes fit comfortably inside our skulls. Not just one or two but endless universes can be packed into that dark, wet, and bony hollow without breaking it open from the inside. The space in our heads will stretch to accommodate them all. The real doorway to the fifth dimension was always right here. Inside. That infinite interior space contains all the divine, the alien, and the unworldly we’ll ever need. ↗

All objects in the universe are unique. No two things that happen by chance ever happen in exactly the same way. No two things are ever constructed or manufactured in exactly the same way. No two things wear in exactly the same way. No two things ever break in exactly the same way. ↗

Obsolescence is a fate devoutly to be wished, lest science stagnate and die. ↗

In every department of physical science there is only so much science, properly so-called, as there is mathematics. ↗
