"Joy may be inarticulate, but reflection is empty without understanding. There is delight to be had merely by looking at the world, but that delight can be deepened when the mind's eye can penetrate the surface of things to see the connections within." "Molecules" by Atkins, 1987, Preface.
"In all branches of science, attempts constantly are made to classify available facts. Unless they are related and compared with each other, however, such facts tend to remain isolated and sterile. Related to others, they lead to new ideas, new laws, and new understandings." The Mineral Kingdom by Desautels, 1968, p. 38
"Patterns are often coded messages; once the key is discovered, the pattern can be read like a story. We live by patterns, intervals, repetitions. Patterns set up expectations. Patterns in time. To perceive a pattern means that we have already formed an idea of what's next. Rhythms in space... in science as in life, patterns come even before numbers." The Search for Solutions, Horance Judson, 1980, p. 26, 28
