Every thought is an exception to the general rule that people don't think.
Paul Valery
Science is feasible when the variables are few and can be enumerated; when their combinations are distinct and clear. We are tending toward the condition of science and aspiring to do it. The artist works out his own formulas; the interest of science lies in the art of making science.
Paul Valery
A man who is of sound mind is one who keeps the inner madman under lock and key.
Paul Valery
It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves.
