"The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science. He who knows it not, and can no longer wonder, no longer feel amazement, is as good as dead. A snuffed out candle. It was the experience of mystery-even if mixed with fear-that engendered religion. The knowledge of the existence of something we cannot penetrate. Of the manifest of the profoundest reason and the most radiant beauty. It is this knowledge and this emotion that constitutes the truly religious attitude. In this sense, and this alone, I am a deeply religious man. I cannot conceive of a god that rewards and punishes his creatures or has a will of the type of which we are conscious in ourselves. Enough for me, the mystery of the eternity of life and the inkling of the marvelous structure of reality; together with the single hearted endeavor to comprehend a portion, be it ever so tiny, of the reason that manifests itself in nature."
