I trust Winsor and Newton and I paint directly upon it.

The birth of science as we know it arguably began with Isaac Newton's formulation of the laws of gravitation and motion. It is no exaggeration to say that physics was reborn in the early 20th-century with the twin revolutions of quantum mechanics and the theory of relativity.

Rationalism and Newtonian science has lured us into dark woods but a new metaphysics can rescue us.

Traditional academic science describes human beings as highly developed animals and biological thinking machines. We appear to be Newtonian objects made of atoms molecules cells tissues and organs.

There is no need to worry about mere size. We do not necessarily respect a fat man more than a thin man. Sir Isaac Newton was very much smaller than a hippopotamus but we do not on that account value him less.

Millions saw the apple fall but Newton was the one who asked why.

Nature and nature's laws lay hid in the night. God said Let Newton be! and all was light!
