My trade and my art is living. he who forbids me to speak about it according to my sense, experience, and practice, let him orderthe architect to speak of buildings not according to himself but according to his neighbor; according to another man's knowledge, not according to his own.

We should not be content to say that power has a need for such-and-such a discovery, such-and-such a form of knowledge, but we should add that the exercise of power itself creates and causes to emerge new objects of knowledge and accumulates new bodies of information. ... the exercise of power perpetually creates knowledge and, conversely, knowledge constantly induces effects of power. ... it is not possible for power to be exercised without knowledge, it is impossible for knowledge not to engender power.

The research worker, in his efforts to express the fundamental laws of nature in mathematical form, should strive mainly for mathematical beauty. he should take simplicity into consideration in a subordinate way to beauty ... it often happens that the requirements of simplicity and beauty are the same, but where they clash, the latter must take precedence.
