A finely tempered nature longs to escape from the personal life into the world of objective perception and thought. Only a life lived for others is worth living. My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind. Peace cannot be achieved through violence, it can only be attained through understanding. People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.
Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.
Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's living at it. Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind. Sometimes one pays most for the things one gets for nothing. Technological progress is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal.
