"To love means loving the unlovable. To forgive means pardoning the unpardonable. Faith means believing the unbelievable. Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless."
"The difference between the poet and the mathematician is that the poet tries to get his head into the heavens while the mathematician tries to get the heavens into his head."
"Great truths can only be forgotten and can never be falsified."
"There is a great deal of difference between an eager man who wants to read a book and a tired man who wants a book to read."
