When we act, we must feel, not necessarily with our own personal feelings. Your voice, your movement, your whole body, are only an instrument for this feeling. However perfect you make the instrument, it won’t resound, unless you can feel.

Ellen Terry’s Memoirs

And there comes too a period of life when we have more joy in saying the thing that is true than in saying the thing that merely is wonderful.

The Life of the bee – Maurice Maeterlinck

If you are a scientist and insist that you already know the answers, you will obviously never make really great discoveries. If anything you will only rediscover what someone else has already discovered. The true scientist knows how to go about finding things. He knows how to set the problem. The answer he does not know. Today the scientist is more of an artist than the artist. The scientist is not afraid to use his imagination. He’s not afraid to adventure. He’s not afraid to ask himself questions to which he doesn’t know the answer.

Content is that which a work betrays but does not parade.
