- "Bottom up thinkers try to start from experience and move from experience to understanding. They don’t start with certain general principles they think beforehand are likely to be true; they just hope to find out what reality is like."
- "I’m a very passionate believer in the unity of knowledge. There is one world of reality – one world of our experience that we’re seeking to describe."
- "If the experience of science teaches anything, it’s that the world is very strange and surprising. The many revolutions in science have certainly shown that."
