Broadly speaking, the discovery of X-rays has increased the keenness of our vision ten thousand times, and we can now 'see' the individual atoms and molecules.

I have suggested that scientific progress requires a favorable environment.

Direct observation of the luminous essence of nature is for me indispensable.

You would think that UV just causes mutations, but it doesn't; you need a gene to be active for it.

There is no greater impediment to progress in the sciences than the desire to see it take place too quickly.

Let us account for all we see by the facts we know. If there are things for which we cannot account, let us wait for light.

Let us advance science to create a better world for all.

We are probably nearing the limit of all we can know about astronomy.

It is likely that we need more radiation to improve our longevity.

Our reason may prove what it will: our reason is only a feeble ray that has issued from Nature.
