How Do I Work? I Grope.

I Don't Try To Imagine A Personal God; It Suffices To Stand In Awe At The Structure Of The World, Insofar As It Allows Our Inadequate Senses To Appreciate It.

My Interest In Science Was Always Essentially Limited To The Study Of Principles.... That I Have Published So Little Is Due To This Same Circumstance, As The Great Need To Grasp Principles Has Caused Me To Spend Most Of My Time On Fruitless Pursuits.

I Know That It Is A Hopeless Undertaking To Debate About Fundamental Value Judgements. For Instance, If Someone Approves, As A Goal, The Extirpation Of The Human Race From The Earth, One Cannot Refute Such A Viewpoint On Rational Grounds. But If There Is Agreement On Certain Goals And Values, One Can Argue Rationally About The Means By Which These Objectives May Be Obtained.

What Is Significant In One's Own Existence One Is Hardly Aware, And It Certainly Should Not Bother The Other Fellow. What Does A Fish Know About The Water In Which He Swims All His Life?

We Scientists, Whose Tragic Destination Has Been To Help In Making The Methods Of Annihilation More Gruesome And More Effective, Must Consider It Our Solemn And Transcendent Duty To Do All In Our Power In Preventing These Weapons From Being Used For The Brutal Purpose For Which They Were Invented.
