“The value of dreams, like ... divinations, is not that they give a specific answer, but that they open up new areas of psychic reality, shake us out of our customary ruts, and throw light on a new segment of our lives. Thus the sayings of the shrine, like dreams, were not to be received passively; the recipients had to "live" themselves into the message.” GivingDreamRealityLightValuesAnswersOur LivesMessagesAreasShakesPsychicsRutsShrines Book:The Courage to Create Source: The Courage to Create
“The page of my notebook was filled with many messy integrals, but all of a sudden I saw emerge a formula for counting. I had begun to calculate a quantity on the assumption that the result was a real number, but found instead that, in certain units, all the possible answers would be integers. This meant that areas and volumes cannot take any value, but come in multiples of fixed units.” RealWould BeCertainValuesFoundAnswersResultsNumbersSawsPagesAreasMathematicsFilledFixedAssumptionFormulasQuantityVolumeUnitsCountingMessyNotebookIntegers Book:Three Roads To Quantum Gravity Source: Three Roads To Quantum Gravity
“I'm interested in the murky areas where there are no clear answers - or sometimes multiple answers.

They said, "Set 'My Fair Lady' in ancient Egypt."I came up with this idea about an Egyptian princess, and I gave her, as a sidekick, a little scarab. I had a telephone meeting with the executive "handling" me, and he said, "I looked over the notes. Very cute. But lose the beetle.Beetles don't talk." Well, how do you answer that?

You're relatively safe in such areas in the Irish community, but to go to downtown Belfast for me is dangerous. My appearance in court had been well advertised by the police.

“A wonderful area for speculative academic work is the unknowable. These days religious subjects are in disfavor, but there are still plenty of good topics. The nature of consciousness, the workings of the brain, the origin of aggression, the origin of language, the origin of life on earth, SETI and life on other worlds...this is all great stuff. Wonderful stuff. You can argue it interminably. But it can't be contradicted, because nobody knows the answer to any of these topics.” KnowsWorldStillsEarthLanguageStuffReligiousAnswersBrainConsciousnessWonderfulSubjectsAreasArguingPlentyThese DaysAcademicAggressionTopicsHuman BehaviorOther WorldsNobody KnowsOrigin Of LifeAcademic Work Author:Michael Crichton

Is it not possible that this state of despair is common to everyone?" And I searched for an answer to my questions in every area of knowledge acquired by man. For a long time I carried on my painstaking search; I did not search casually, out of mere curiosity, but painfully, persistently, day and night, like a dying man seeking salvation.
