“I am doomed to an eternity of compulsive work. No set goal achieved satisfies. Success only breeds a new goal. The golden apple devoured has seeds. It is endless.”

“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existence.

It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery each day.
