One cannot be deeply responsive to the world without being saddened very often.

Both dreams and myths are important communications from ourselves to ourselves. If we do not understand the language in which they are written, we miss a great deal of what we know and tell ourselves in those hours when we are not busy manipulating the outside world.

The ordinary man with extraordinary power is the chief danger for mankind - not the fiend or the sadist.

As we can.

The danger of the past was that men became slaves. The danger of the future is that men may become robots. True enough, robots do not rebel. But given man's nature, robots cannot live and remain sane, they become ''Golems,'' they will destroy their world and themselves because they cannot stand any longer the boredom of a meaningless life.

The capacity to be puzzled is the premise of all creation, be it in art or in science.
