Bellamy Young Quotes

Intellectual curiosity drove Einstein to some of the world's most important discoveries.

As we know from the work of certain fundamental physicists, people like Einstein were very dependent upon conjuring up visual images in order to imagine things which otherwise were not easily formulated.

Albert Einstein had learned to look into cameras as if he were meeting the eyes of the future beholders of his image.

Creativity is essential to particle physics, cosmology, and to mathematics, and to other fields of science, just as it is to its more widely acknowledged beneficiaries - the arts and humanities.

One of the strongest characteristics of genius is the power of lighting its own fire.

I always love to quote Albert Einstein because nobody dares contradict him.

Dr. Einstein was not successful in school, but he found something in the air from his own imagination and his own brain power, and look what he did.

Einstein was a man who could ask immensely simple questions. And what his work showed is that when the answers are simple too, then you can hear God thinking.

I should have been a son of Einstein.

I've always been fascinated by real scientists - Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, and so many others - how they've come up with solutions to very complicated problems that nobody else can seem to figure out.

I think you have to be creative to make a difference in science.

One of the things I sort of dreamt about awhile ago is that if Einstein were still alive, it would be absolutely wonderful to go to him and tell him about the discovery, and he would have been very pleased, I'm sure of that.

A man who cannot think is not an educated man however many college degrees he may have acquired.

Genius is intellect constructive.

Mediocre theoretical physicists make no progress. They spend all their time understanding other people's progress.

I like to think of myself as fairly intellectual.

The main functions of intelligence, that of inventing solutions and that of verifying them, do not necessarily involve one another. The first partakes of imagination; the second alone is properly logical.

All creation requires a scientific brain.

Reason shows itself in all occurrences of life; whereas the brute makes no discovery of such a talent, but in what immediately regards his own preservation or the continuance of his species.

Then you have a big problem, because a human is a thinking animal. If you don't think, you're not really a human.

Talent jogs to conclusions to which Genius takes giant leaps.

The most part of men, though they have the use of reasoning a little way, as in numbering to some degree; yet it serves them to little use in common life; in which they govern themselves, some better, some worse, according to their differences of experience, quickness of memory, and inclinations to several ends; but specially according to good or evil fortune, and the errors of one another.

A genius is the man in whom you are least likely to find the power of attending to anything insipid or distasteful in itself. He breaks his engagements, leaves his letters unanswered, neglects his family duties incorrigibly, because he is powerless to turn his attention down and back from those more interesting trains of imagery with which his genius constantly occupies his mind.

Genius is an exceedingly common human quality, probably natural to most of us.

Invention requires both disciplines, strict common sense and wild imagination.
