So vast is art, so narrow human wit.

Vast is the field of Science. The more a man knows, the more he will find he has to know.

We will always have more to discover, more to invent, more to understand and that's much closer to art and literature than any science.

And we owe science to the combined energies of individual men of genius, rather than to any tendency to progress inherent in civilization.

Our observation of nature must be diligent, our reflection profound, and our experiments exact. We rarely see these three means combined; and for this reason, creative geniuses are not common.

Art and science have so much in common - the process of trial and error, finding something new and innovative, and to experiment and succeed in a breakthrough.

Ah, the creative process is the same secret in science as it is in art. They are all the same absolutely.

Genius is not perfected, it is deepened. It does not so much interpret the world as fertilize itself with it.

The best artists are scientific, and the best scientists are artistic.
