Quotes

  • Knowledge once gained casts a faint light beyond its own immediate boundaries.
  • The experimental researches of Faraday are so voluminous, their descriptions are so detailed, and their wealth of illustration is so great, as to render it a heavy labour to master them. The multiplication of proofs, necessary and interesting when the new truths had to be established, are however less needful now when these truths have become household words in science.
  • Life is a wave, which in no two consecutive moments of its existence is composed of the same particles.
  • The mind of man may be compared to a musical instrument with a certain range of notes, beyond which in both directions we have an infinitude of silence.
  • The brightest flashes in the world of thought are incomplete until they have been proved to have their counterparts in the world of fact.
  • It is as fatal as it is cowardly to blink facts because they are not to our taste.
