“It is decreed by a merciful Nature that the human brain cannot think of two things simultaneously, so that if it be steeped in curiosity as to science it has no room for merely personal considerations.”

“Якщо ти достатньо заглибишся в науку, то помалу осягнеш можливості власного розуму. Ти збагнеш, що - для тебе, а що - може, й ні. Згодом ти усвідомиш, який спосіб думок найбільш властивий твоїй душі, твоїй натурі. Завдяки цьому ти не гаятимеш силу часу на те, щоб проникнути в ідеї, які тебе не вдовольняють, чужі тобі. Ти пізнаєш справжню свою мірку і вбиратимеш свій розум у відповідну одіж.”

“What I got out of that story was something still very new to me: I understood at last what art is really for, at least in certain respects. It gives somebody, individually, pleasure. You can make something that somebody likes so much that they’re depressed, or they’re happy, on account of that damn thing you made! In science, it’s sort of general and large: You don’t know the individuals who have appreciated it directly. I understood that to sell a drawing is not to make money, but to be sure that it’s in the home of someone who really wants it; someone who would feel bad if they didn’t have it. This was interesting.”
