"Great truths can only be forgotten and can never be falsified."
"I had always felt life first as a story: and if there is a story there is a story-teller"
"Merely having an open mind is nothing. The object of opening the mind, as of opening the mouth, is to shut it again on something solid."
"Surely we cannot take an open question like the supernatural and shut it with a bang, turning the key of the madhouse on all the mystics of history. You cannot take the region of the unknown and calmly say that, though you know nothing about it, you know all the gates are locked. We do not know enough about the unknown to know that it is unknowable."
"Science must not impose any philosophy, any more than the telephone must tell us what to say."
