"While it is true that scientific results are entirely independent
from religious or moral considerations, those individuals to whom we
owe the great creative achievements of science were all of them
imbued with the truly religious conviction that this universe of ours
is something perfect and susceptible to the rational striving for
knowledge. If this conviction had not been a strongly emotional one
and if those searching for knowledge had not been inspired by
Spinoza's Amor Dei Intellectualis, they wouid hardly have been
capable of that untiring devotion which alone enables man to attain
his greatest achievements."
- Albert Einstein
