That is why I think a photograph can be kind.”

“the scientist's religious feeling takes the form of a rapturous amazement at the harmony of natural law, which reveals an intelligence of such superiority that, compared with it, all the systematic thinking and acting of human beings is utterly insignificant reflection.

It is beyond question closely akin to that which has possessed the religious geniuses of all ages.”
