The true worth of an experimenter consists in his pursuing not only what he seeks in his experiment, but also what he did not seek.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The experimenter who does not know what he is looking for will not understand what he finds.
Sometimes you can fail in an experiment. But if you fail, you still don't stop observing that thing, looking for a better way.
He who seeks does not find, but he who does not seek will be found.
He who seeks for methods without having a definite problem in mind seeks in the most part in vain.
I never experiment with anything in my books. Experimentation means you don't know what you're doing.
It is not necessarily true that expensive experiments are not worthwhile doing but there are plenty of rather cheap experiments which are certainly worth doing.
Extraordinary circumstances often bring along with them extraordinary strength. No man knows, till the experiment, what he is capable of effecting.
In teaching man, experimental science results in lessening his pride more and more by proving to him every day that primary causes, like the objective reality of things, will be hidden from him forever and that he can only know relations.
A scientist... must accept the results of experiment, and nothing but the results of experiment.
I don't like the word 'experiment' in the context of art in general. It implies something immature, unfinished, something entertaining for a moment before it becomes irrelevant.
