—André Previn (b. 1929)
“Religion is an attempt to get an irrefragably safe investment, and this cannot be got, no matter how low the interest, which in the case of religion is about as low as it can be.”

“Through the mythology of Einstein, the world blissfully regained the image of knowledge reduced to a formula.”
