"Education is no substitute for intelligence."
"Irreverence is a most necessary ingredient of religion. Not to speak of its importance in philosophy. Irreverence is the only way left to us for testing our universe."
"The people I distrust most are those who want to improve our lives but have only one course of action."
"A process cannot be understood by stopping it. Understanding must move with the flow of the process, must join it and flow with it."
