मुझे तीसरी सबसे बेहतरीन टेक्नोलॉजी दीजिए। दूसरी सबसे बेहतरीन समय पर तैयार नहीं होगी और सबसे बेहतरीन कभी तैयार ही नहीं होगी।
Give me the third best technology. The second best won't be ready in time. The best will never be ready.

मानविकी (ह्यूमनिटीज) के ऐसे कई विषय हैं जो अनुशासन, सुंदरता, और भावनात्मक तथा सौंदर्यात्मक संतुष्टि के मामले में उन विषयों को पीछे छोड़ सकते हैं जिन्हें गणित और प्राकृतिक विज्ञान कहा जाता है।
There are few humanities that could surpass in discipline, in beauty, in emotional and aesthetic satisfaction, those humanities which are called mathematics, and the natural sciences.

मानवीय व्यवहार को प्रेरित करने वाली तीन सबसे प्रभावी वजहों को... आस्था, लालच और डर के रूप में वर्गीकृत किया जा सकता है। ... जब हम किसी वैज्ञानिक का विश्लेषण करते हैं, तो यह देखना शायद सार्थक होगा कि वह इन तीन प्रेरणाओं से कितना प्रभावित होता है। मुझे लगता है कि वह काफी अनोखे और असाधारण तरीके से, डर से बहुत कम प्रभावित होता है। ... असल में वह एक ऐसा इंसान होता जिसे यह सिखाया गया है कि तथ्यों का सामना करते समय उसे निडर होना चाहिए।
The three most effective incentives to human action may be ... classified as creed, greed and dread. ... In examining the scientist it is perhaps worth while to examine how far he is moved by these three incentives. I think that, rather peculiarly and rather exceptionally, he is very little moved by dread. ... He is in fact essentially a person who has been taught he must be fearless in his dealing with facts.

तथ्यों को करीने से पेश करने, उन्हें सिद्धांतों के रूप में व्यवस्थित करने में, और उससे भी बढ़कर इस रोमांचक तथा सुखद अहसास में एक गहरी भावनात्मक संतुष्टि मिलती है कि आपका सिद्धांत थोड़ा सा गलत है और उसे किसी कलाकृति—जैसे किसी पेंटिंग या मूर्तिकला—की तरह सौंदर्य की पूर्णता के लिए फिर से तराशने की ज़रूरत है। इसलिए ऐसा कोई वैज्ञानिक नहीं है जिसे किसी हद तक कलाकार या कवि न कहा जा सके।
There is a great deal of emotional satisfaction in the elegant demonstration, in the elegant ordering of facts into theories, and in the still more satisfactory, still more emotionally exciting discovery that the theory is not quite right and has to be worked over again, very much as any other work of art-a painting, a sculpture has to be worked over in the interests of aesthetic perfection. So there is no scientist who is not to some extent worthy of being described as artist or poet.

[वैज्ञानिक] तथ्यों में, यानी मापे गए तथ्यों में अटूट विश्वास रखता है। उसका मानना है कि कोई भी तथ्य बुरा नहीं होता, सभी तथ्य अच्छे होते हैं—भले ही वे बुरी चीज़ों से जुड़े हों। उसकी बौद्धिक संतुष्टि केवल सटीक रूप से ज्ञात तथ्यों को हासिल करने और उन्हें एक ऐसे ज्ञान के रूप में संगठित करने से मिलती है, जहाँ मापे गए तथ्यों के बीच आपसी संबंध ही सबसे मुख्य बात होती है।
[The scientist] believes passionately in facts, in measured facts. He believes there are no bad facts, that all facts are good facts, though they may be facts about bad things, and his intellectual satisfaction can come only from the acquisition of accurately known facts, from their organization into a body of knowledge, in which the inter-relationship of the measured facts is the dominant consideration.
