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

I had learned that science is a rewarding, active process of discovery, not the passive absorption of what others had discovered.

The difference between science and the arts is not that they are different sides of the same coin even, or even different parts of the same continuum, but rather, they are manifestations of the same thing. The arts and sciences are avatars of human creativity.

If you do an experiment and it gives you what you did not expect, it is a discovery.

It is through science that we prove, but through intuition that we discover.

The more we learn of science, the more we see that its wonderful mysteries are all explained by a few simple laws so connected together and so dependent upon each other, that we see the same mind animating them all.

It is obvious that anything a scientist discovers or invents is based on previous discoveries and inventions. The same applies to the arts.

The process of scientific discovery is, in effect, a continual flight from wonder.

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.

The very nature of science is discoveries, and the best of those discoveries are the ones you don't expect.
