Life, Albert Einstein


Let us not forget that knowledge and skills alone cannot lead humanity to a happy and dignified life. ... I claim credit for nothing. Everything is determined, the beginning as well as the end, forces over which we have no control. It is determined for the insects as well as for the stars, Human beings, vegetables or cosmic dust, we all dance to a mysterious tune, intoned in the distance by an invisible piper.

- Albert Einstein (1879-1955)

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.

Tears, Roy Batty (Blade Runner, 1982 film)


I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... [laughs] Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion, I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain...

- Roy Batty from Blade Runner (1982)
