#Dialogue Quotes

“At the extremity of hardship comes relief and at the tightening of the chains of trials and tribulations comes ease.”
“It's a lot easier to be lost than found. It's the reason we're always searching and rarely discovered--so many locks not enough keys.”
“Patience and boredom are closely related. Boredom, a certain kind of boredom, is really impatience. You don't like the way things are, they aren't interesting enough for you, so you deccide- and boredom is a decision-that you are bored.”
“The criterion of true beauty is that it increases on examination; if false, that it lessens.”
“She taught me all about real sacrifice. That it should be done from love, not misplace disgust for another person's genetics.”
“The person who sows a single beautiful thought in the mind of another, renders the world a greater service than that rendered by all the faultfinders combined.”
“Colleges hate geniuses, just as convents hate saints.”
“[N]o scientist likes to be criticized. ... But you don't reply to critics: "Wait a minute, wait a minute; this is a really good idea. I'm very fond of it. It's done you no harm. Please don't attack it." That's not the way it goes. The hard but just rule is that if the ideas don't work, you must throw them away. Don't waste any neurons on what doesn't work. Devote those neurons to new ideas that better explain the data. Valid criticism is doing you a favor.”
