Quotes by J.L. Heilbron (?)

“On the other side, Church spokesmen could scarcely become enthusiastic about Planck's deism, which omitted all reference to established religions and had no more doctrinal content than Einstein's Judaism.”
― J.L. Heilbron, Dilemmas of an Upright Man: Max Planck and the Fortunes of German Science

“Woe to the investigator so in love with his new idea that he neglects to test it rigorously against received wisdom; woe also to the investigator so in love with his old conceptions that he refuses to weigh the merits of a new insight.”

“Another old friend who came to pay his respects [to the recently elected Urban VIII] and collect his reward was Buonarroti, who, like Strozzi, judged the new court guilty of excess. "Music always and always poetry / music and poetry morning and night / music in every time and season." "I would rather hear frogs sing.”
― J.L. Heilbron, Galileo
