“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existence. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality.

If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it.”
