Physical concepts are free creations of the human mind, and are not, however it may seem, uniquely determined by the external world.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
The most merciful thing in the world... is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents.
The greatest revolution of our generation is the discovery that human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives.
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents... some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new Dark Age.
There are no constraints on the human mind, no walls around the human spirit, no barriers to our progress except those we ourselves erect.
I believe that every human mind feels pleasure in doing good to another.
I claim that human mind or human society is not divided into watertight compartments called social, political and religious. All act and react upon one another.
It is one of the superstitions of the human mind to have imagined that virginity could be a virtue.
The natural flights of the human mind are not from pleasure to pleasure, but from hope to hope.
The human mind has first to construct forms, independently, before we can find them in things.
There are in the human mind a group of faculties and in the brain groups of convolutions, and the facts assembled by science so far allow to state, as I said before, that the great regions of the mind correspond to the great regions of the brain.
My feeling is religious insofar as I am imbued with the consciousness of the insufficiency of the human mind to understand more deeply the harmony of the Universe which we try to formulate as "laws of nature".
To dream anything that you want to dream, that is the beauty of the human mind. To do anything that you want to do, that is the strength of the human will. To trust yourself, to test your limits, that is the courage to succeed.
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of the infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.
Our progress as a nation can be no swifter than our progress in education. The human mind is our fundamental resource.
I don't think the human mind can comprehend the past and the future. They are both just illusions that can manipulate you into thinking there's some kind of change.
I have a theory about the human mind. A brain is a lot like a computer. It will only take so many facts, and then it will go on overload and blow up.
...the physicist cannot simply surrender to the philosopher the critical contemplation of the theoretical foundations; for, he himself knows best, and feels more surely where the shoe pinches...Physical conceptions are free creations of the human mind, and are not, however it may seem, uniquely determined by the external world.
It stands to the everlasting credit of science that by acting on the human mind it has overcome man's insecurity before himself and before nature.
